The morning haze of a light blue sky
Barely filling my tired eyes
Cool dawn misty dew
Moist feet slipping through
Not missing much as others do
Maybe missing lost family,
Friends, and old lovers true
But it’s quiet and I need the silence
I need the peace because of the past violence
I know I’ve dwelled in the dark to long
I cry when the early morning beauty becomes too much
A doe biting bark
A bunch of ducks waddling in the park
I dip the tip of my toe in the pond
And for now the only thing I regret
Is I didn’t get that camera yet
