Supernal shades of blue,
Best approached in early hours,
Lend the land a joyous hue
Where the Morning Glory flowers.
The leaves are emerald hearts
With rambling stems and coiling tips;
Every searching tendril starts
As the glowing sun uplifts.
Prolific and with ease
The Morning Glory onward climbs
Over shrubs and over trees -
All are smothered in the vines.
But now the weeds have weighed
Upon this heart they once adorned
And I am stifled by the shade
Where morning beauty stood before.
