From the fingers of first
misty light,
rays
of morning shatter
dark chains,
and usher
in daybreak unrehearsed.
Black songster displays
agenda for
mating
by ringing the ether
in trilled carol,
shakes off
damp night and flies away.
Smiles become partner
to awe
after
first heard
feathered dawn-bird's
wordless praise
as life again makes its start.
Raise the eyes for more
and view
nature
revealing truth
that only by such glories
can Love be
understood in unvoiced talk.

From the fingers of first
misty light,
rays
of morning shatter
dark chains,
and usher
in daybreak unrehearsed.
Black songster displays
agenda for

by ringing the ether
in trilled carol,
shakes off
damp night and flies away.
Smiles become partner
to awe
after
first heard
feathered dawn-bird's
wordless praise
as life again makes its start.
Raise the eyes for more
and view
nature
revealing truth
that only by such glories
can Love be
understood in unvoiced talk.
