Thyme

As a strawberry sun rises
Changing clouds to cobalt
The coolness of the morn delights
Before the sun's assault

Thyme was in the herb garden
Before the sun arose
He brushed against Rosemary
Came away morose

The sun changed to clear radiance
Illumination bright
White clouds now are wispy fanbrushed
So still no kite takes flight

A few crickets chirp jiminy
Crows caw from their far perch
Other birds are silent, waiting
Nestled deep in their Birch

A dove coos in the distant woods
His coos a welcome sound
Other birds are silent as snow
When it floats to the ground_

Such a precious quiet time alone
A few minutes of repose
The the day of duty overtakes
With life's work overdose  

Just a few minutes out on the porch

Sounds like a beautiful pastoral scene! I spend time in city parks but it is not the same. Ann Frank- she of the famous diary- said that spending time alone with nature and with G-d is cure for every sad thought. And she said that such space for solitude will always exsist.

Seem like a completely, delightfully filled few minutes you spent out on the porch, Sarah. So much of life to take in, my friend. Very nice.... Robert.
