The Morning After
~~~
Sunlight
softly flowing
into a woodland dawn
Where honeysuckles lift their heads
from a sleepy
morning
fawn
Though all of nature
seems at rest
neath the fragrance of a flower
A distant cadence
breaks the still
beneath
this rustic bower
~
A gentle thump
and then
another
A shimmer
parts the years
Into the glade
a silhouette
with long thin drooping ears
The whiskers
graced
upon his face
show an ancient shade of grey
A basket
tucked
beneath his arm
he stops
to bless the day
Then
with a yawn
he disappears
amid a dazzling sight
A multi colored kaleidoscope
that fades
neath Easter's light
