Adirondack Kind of Morning

 

 

 

 

Adirondack Kind of Morning

 

Soft leaves underfoot, mosaics of nature

Sleeping in shadows of yawning maples

Beneath these stretching branches I roam

Foot steps in rhythm with a woodpecker’s cadence

Humming to the harmony of dawn’s cool breeze

 

Sunlight weaves past distant mountain peaks

Warming my face, enhancing my vision

Miles evaporate like morning dew

Moments become an ever changing serenity

For happiness waits at the end of this journey

 

Clear waters race between glistened stone

I splash my face in anticipation of a new day

Dreaming of her on an Adirondack kind of morning

Following a path through the mirrors of my thoughts

Listening for the endless echoes of love

 

Peaceful vistas beckon my heart’s desires

Cleansing my soul in lilac wanderings

Breathing the air of solitude affection

Knowing this sunrise lifts her from sleep

Praying her first thought is of me
