Chris Green Poet Free verse

My Mornings

My mornings... 

are not an exiting crescent moon
 glowing high overhead,
preparing to retire 
below a distant tree line silhouette
~~
Scattered footprints
 in the glistening dew
on a lush lawn 
still dreaming of the day before
~~
Cantaloupe skies tickling
 a sleepy horizon,
restless in vivid ribbons
 on a wide eyed sapphire canvas
~~
Yawning morning glories 
climbing a silent fencepost,
standing guard in the shadows 
of a stately oak
~~
Butterflies floating 
on dawn’s cool breeze 
quietly touching each blossom 
in mosaic laced flight patterns
~~
Or the enchanting coo 
of a stirring mourning dove
spreading its wings amidst 
woven branched tapestries
~~
My mornings are always you, 
surrendered in first blush beauty,
breathing of every sunrise’s promise, 
 awakening all that my heart desires

Good morning Soupers
