Morning

Birds scatter away from the trees
                       as they blissfully sing in choruses.

Trees glow in reddish-ember hue'
                        making the forest to be brighter.

The scent of night rain
                oozes from the moist ground,
                             to our nostrils as we are half-awake.

Farmers sing as they head
                     to their farms to till the land.

Children creep to the plantains,
                         to check their mole traps.

Shepherds take their cattle herds
                            to graze in the green fields....

It is morning;
               a new day!

Wonderful African morning like serene recollection and exotic picture of ineffable feelings and hope painting the new day and great: The scent of night rain oozes from the moist ground, to our nostrils as we are half-awake
