A pitter-patter chorus in memory
plays a tune; yesterday's rain stuck
in the trees
A bird's whistle, a steaming cup
of rooibos watermelon & mint tea
waters both trapped in leaves
A dusty floor, swept and tucked under
a warm blanket- lost in the sounds
soundly sleeping I was
A sun peeps out of the corner cloud,
an after clearing of grey smoke, whispering mist
muddy water splash; split by passing cars
A creaking old door, swinging into the
mood of things- moving out of a dream,
I relocate into my very first step
A morning orchestra, as I yawn loudly as brass
instruments. The bells rings to wake me up
from this dream, and out of my bed
_...yet to face another morning_
