Peacock Song

Secret lover
greeting morning
from flowering
window
a song
opening day
like peacock fan
lilies and roses
light sparkling
ripped
from night
equalizing veil
dawn
a new day
is coloring
rosy child play
maturing 
to midday
for adulthood 
heat 
trading petals
with seeds 
of tomorrow
life's harvest
to share
till one by one 
start falling
dry dreams of 
diversions
life's essence
remaining
to heaven 
grey arms 
extending
unweighted 
by care
on rocking 
dream chair 
four seasons
capriciousness
sees ending
a new fifth season
of mild spring
ushering
with jolly old friends
banqueting
with music and hymns 
to God all the glory
now and forever 
in love.
