Front seat tickets
to God's morning show,
though I didn't know
that I was going to go.

Soft whispers waking me
earlier than wanted from bed
out to the porch to see
a glorious red
lined with yellow
growing into pink
with geese making a stink
while I'm called to
record it all in ink.

Not much sleep behind me,
but what a treat to be had
happening every early morn --
wake and take in the dawn.
