Tis a quiet interlude

     to water garden flowers.

Bright sun peeks over treetops;

     dark shadows light devours.

As I sit on covered deck

     enamored with dawn's hour.

Breeze ripples through green branches

     an early morning 'hello.'

Birds hustle for brown peanuts

     as I watch their hopping flow.

Melodic note of bird songs

     prolong early morning glow.

Then I hear soft buzzing wings

     of a waking bumblebee.

Rapid staccato tapping,

     woodpecker strikes hollow tree.

Nature's drummer's booming beats

     sends heart and soul soaring free.
