Touches of Warmth

gossamer is the breath
falling in heated touches
this first monday morning
of autumn's calling

sunrise tipped trees
smile back at the horizon
a reflection of dawn

translucid drops
roll off the curls
of leaves yearning
to quench their thirst

no rain comes
from cloudless skies
just the cries of hawks
as they cincture above
appreciating the warmth
sheathed in this day

Your touches of warmth are delightful, Sandra, especially when considering that this poem was written on a Monday morning when many others would have been feeling moody and grumpy! Warm regards // paul
