Away And Into Life

A poem about life.

The morning light approaches

with a steadfast gait,

Lumbering forth up through the clouds,

never hesitates;

Spilling over the lip

of the horizon,

Instructing the brown and grey birds to rise in

Birds of prey, birds of song,

Beautiful birds, all

bouncing along.

The chilling still air,

ripe with the dew,

Moistening the vegetation, and in

the earth accrues.

Worms unearth themselves to

escape the coming flood,

Soon to be devoured by the

birds all out for blood.

Leaves begin to rise up to soak

the now bright sun,

Leaving little light to linger

through the lofty tons.

Skies of blue begin to bloom,

and saturate the red,

Day lilies poke their tired heads up

from the flowerbed.

Overcome by such sensations, lovely sights

and bright carnations,

I forget my daily bores and constant

nagging tribulations.
