Waking To a New Day

Fiery Flames of mornings early light,
                             A lonesome bird caws, then soars in flight

                          An illuminated sky, streaked in strains of grey,
                               Harkening the advent of another day

                             Phantom clouds pause, slowly passing by;
                          Wistful trees, shedding their seasonal display,
                                        Winter, is not far away
