DAWN
I rise early before the cocks
crow .
I smile as I look out of the
window.
The day is fine and the sky clear ;
Birds' twittering everywhere I
hear.
I boil water to make a cup of tea
That's my morning brew , you see.
Then I clean the house and feed
the chickens
and not forgetting the milk for
mum's kittens .
A great view I have from the window
overlooking a large green meadow.
Each dawn , I run to its grassy buxom
Where many a flowers blossom.
The sunflowers are still droopy
with sleep;
not yet from their flowery dreams
peep .
Yesterday I saw no lilies among
the bushes .
This morning they appear from
hiding places .
From afar a bird calls
Then another answers
Together they circle the air
Wings flapping ; soaring with
flair.
I breathe in the fresh
fragrance .
All my senses in a deep trance .
I spy at my dream paradise ;
waiting to see glorious sunrise .
This is how I start my new
day;
each day so happy and gay .
I'll be back here in the even song
;
When the shadows are deep and long.
~Agatha Lai~
