A single star upon the blue
Jet streaks from charcoal to white
Pale pink breaks the horizon's line
Crickets and doves sing delight
Dove's have an echo some of the time
Roosters crow unanswered
Changing the horizon to rosa wine
Interspersed coyotoes whined
The spider checks his web, repairs
There's no breakfast for him
A long night's hunger unfulfilled
As morn's star slowly dims
Its light superceded by the sun
As the sun rises to greater heights
And the sun paints the canvas grand
Colors wonderful, just right
Amazing how the paint can change
What once was charcoal gray
Now is an awesome pink, what was
White, now gray, touched this day
I can't go away untouched, changed
This morn uplifted me
I can never view this earth again
Without thinking of Thee
What a beautiful sunrise
It has changed once again
Only to be captured upon my mind
Maybe not even then

The Quality Of Mercy
'The quality of mercy is not strained'
wrote the bard of bards in his day
may be he meant it was unrestrained
and the Creator intended it so to stay
Or maybe his meaning was, it's not sifted,
unquantifiable, and justly meted
so that Man was able to be assured indeed
of its swift application when in need.
He could not forsee an electronic land
where pathos and pleasure go hand in hand
where scenes of human suffering at a flash
are superceded by something utterly rash.
Sad to say on this 'progressive train'
the quality of mercy is under strain
tho' whilst many would 'pass on the other side'
many more good souls still show mercy with pride
