Sweet Refrains

Dawn spills hues of honey-tangerine
  and leaves its sweet dew on the rose,
    Sunbeams sweeten the morning,
  With warm caramel glows
 A dulcet bird song floats
      and sugar coats the breeze
 awakening all the flowers
      Which give  nectar to the bees
  I sip a cup of coffee
 As a song my heart retains,
    The morning is a melody,
 That comes with sweet refrains. 
                      - -
