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.
