kiss the street lamp closed,
a new halo is dawning
dew drops curl into little spheres
ready to reflect the coming joy
in glorious refraction!
the dove untucks her beak from her huddled wings,
the air wrestles it’s self to life
after the still night
the lizards blink a slow blink
charging in the gently rising rays
the salty sea smiles,
shining back every color the sun dares to paint the dawn
and the first baby gurgles in tune with the larks and wrens
the creaking of an old door warming up joins the chorus
as tip toes navigate the perilous sounds of sudden awakening
A tipsy dance denotes that love has risen in haze of daylight
the hopes of a thousand dreams fluttering about
Suddenly fall to the ground
the greeting came as hard as the stare
“Where the **** have you been again?
