Ode To Anew Day

There comes a time when each new day
is an unexpected joy -
the yes, of yes I am alive.

My quilt covers against the chill breeze,
holds me for sweet moments
cocooning in my bed
before ring to a morning salutation.

Golden light washes the hillside,
splashes on tomatoes and summer squash,
on greening apples and ripening peach
on blackberries growing along the fence

and sunlight like a lover
has kissed the trees on their green lips -
its yellow body shining there.
