Autumn Morning
A Poem
As dew drops softly on grass, the sun rising warms the path ahead
It’s pastel colors shining to make way for the alluring busy birds work day
They muster their strength for forging for food and shelter
Extending their crooked wings to take flight they must leave their young for the day
Meanwhile humans are gently awakening to the sweet songs of birds
The sweet smell of dead leaves and the brisk morning air gets everyone up
The bittersweet taste of coffee motivates us to get ready for the day
Gentle whispers and movements of making breakfast wake the pets up
Pets whining loudly for food drowns the morning bustle of the world
While a quiet morning indeed, we do not stop to hear the music of the world
With little time we do have, we do not waste it
Rushing around carelessly each morning for our workday ahead
We simply cannot comprehend the intense beauty of the world without realizing our own.
We after all are only skulls and bones and know what we are suppose to know
