First light
Then the sun rises bright
Morning dew
Sparkles in the heavy green grass
Tiny clouds high in the blue sky
Tinged in pink catch my eyes
Little white butterflies
Dance in and out and all around
Of the wild alfalfa with wild delight
Like falling snow
Scattered in aimless flight
By the gentle breeze
After a long dark night
My heart pounds
Even though I know
That since I last saw your face
Has been but a short while
I think of you…
I smile
