Gnarled ancient oak
Crows hold court in high branches
Dew clings to the trunk

Bird’s songs at sunrise
Rain working down from perches
Gathering puddles

Letting fresh air in
The gaze of two pale emeralds
Searching for the sun

Written while opening my window and catching the gaze of my neighbors cat before she stretched out and sun bathed.

Face open to sky
A life of darkness exposed
Drying in the sun

Written while noticing that a large branch had been cut off a nearby tree and the remaining limb was bleeding sap that was baking in the sun.

Bird song peels back night
Insects play solemn music
Wet lawns still at dawn

Written looking out my front window early in the morning.

Creeping between blades
A pair of unseeing eyes
Looking to ascend

Written while observing a swallow tail caterpillar make his way towards a rise of tree roots through the grass. They have fake eyes on their heads.

Clinging to chaos
Remnants of a spider's web
Catch the morning sun

Written while observing the remains of a spiders web on a tangled green vine on my side yard fence
