Mike Gentile Poet Couplet

To Soothe a Restless Heart

A troubled morning found me woke
                        And to a restless heart it spoke
But not in words, yet other ways
                            This notion to me it conveys

The greeting of the Cypress trees
               That whisper on the dawning breeze
They say, get up, the day is new
                         Discover what’s ahead for you

The Cardinals are in splendid tune
                           As I imbibe a morning moon           
The Blue Jay beckons me to dance
                   Perhaps a day filled with romance

And with the sun, a golden kiss
                        Such happiness I can’t dismiss
A butterfly to tag-along
                   Enhances this good morning song

Delighted by a Daffodil 
                            No more, a melancholy chill                          
With Honeysuckle everywhere
                  It could not bide, it would not dare
