Morning Cues

A dapper morning awaits
         as I gaze out
        to an awakening
       steeped in conviviality
         so palpable in glow of
            leaves bathed anew
              radiant in glory
             Glistening crisp
              blades of grass
         razor edged sharp
           deftly cut through
            weeds of gloom
      Aromas soaked in mirth
         envelope landscape
               From my soul
             infused with joy
             escapes a sigh
             embraced avidly
           by bountiful breeze
the lines between us blur slowly
         as it subsumes me
        And I cease to be
          my spirit merged
              with universe...

Singh Date: 7/13/2017 7:57:00 AM Thank you Agnes! We have very few such mornings here but luckily past few days it has been drizzling incessantly so it is great weather. Otherwise North Indian plains are more like your July poem during summer months :) Congrats to you too!
