Sun warms dark water
Wraiths of mist dance on the lake
Waltzing through the reeds

Swollen with the cold
Flowers peek into the street
Between fence pickets

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.
