Soft Repose

Daybreak in Georgia Heavy dark gray clouds On the horizon first light Streaked with light thulian pink Yard light still shines No stars, no moon Surroundings that could gloom But quietness penetrates pushes away Roosters alert me to day light They're in command in their Domain, letting all know This is my space, stay away Relaxation comes riding Slowly over the slopping rise Releasing the tension That builds from everyday life Cheer-up, cheer-up Sings the nearest bird Calling to her mate Faintly he answers The thulian pink streaks have disappeared Clouds have enveloped the sun Predicting rain showers today Dampness is filling the air Crickets alert the other creatures That they are up and out Their comrades answer in like fashion Jump and hide morning light's here Sound that is unfamiliar Can't give it a name Sounds like a bird saying cheer-up But with a higher pitched sound Magnolia tree has some white Blooms now, that contrast those Gorgeous, shining deep green leaves Which have a fuzzy underside Jet flying high over can only hear Vision is limited because of the overcast Sound didn't last long How fast do they move now Crepe Myrtle loaded With purple blooms Draw all nature's Friends to her door The daybreak and quiet Gave a soft repose To the early morning Giving me strength for day
