Fall Awakening

Fall Awakening

Opening eyes upon
riotous morning
beneath a waning moon,
nestled within a
vault of trees,
senses enlivened,
primeval sounds of rushing river
birds in the midst of greeting
the glorious sweep of nascent daylight
within the arc of rising sun.

How fortunate to be
given yet another day,

this fleeting dream of life.
