Reveille

reveille

morning mists surf winds
 spins and twirls over dark hills ~
  summer sun sleeps in

daybreak paints with mists
 dawn tumbles out of darkness ~
  shadows turn amber lilac

miniature raindrops
 decorate fine silk spun webs ~
  first light bathes in dew

hazy cloud blankets
 dozing streams as meadows stir ~
  sunrise ritual 

clouds turn inside-out
 cleaning off dusty tree boughs ~
  dawn takes a shower
