Sunrise

SUDDENLY THE SOUND OF 
SINGING  BIRDS AT  SUNRISE
PENETRATES  MY  BEING

AWARENESS
OF A  SUBTLE POWER
THE  EARLY  MORNING  SUN

FERN  LEAVES  OPENING  DELICATELY
TOWARD  THE  SUN

BIRDS  FLEEING  THE  BRANCHES
WINGING  UP  INTO  THE  BLUE

FLOWER  PETALS  LOOSENING  THEIR GRIP
REVEALING  VIBRANT COLOURS

ALL NATURE  REACHING  OUT
TO  THE  COSMIC  VASTNESS
