Street Light

Across the water The streetlight flows Trees undressed Allow the light to glow Saturated shadows soften Charging each moment Before the rising sun Water a dark ribbon Birds squawking softly At the edge of my dream First up in the morning To see the glory of night Before the sun Turns out the streetlight.

Thank you for your kind comments. I think it is interesting that no one else is awake at 5:30 to see the lovely night.
