5:30 am
Oh the morning hours…
blurry quiet, hazy glee.
Yet I cannot hold onto them
when they begin to flee.
A pitter-patter, then a stomp
comes down the staircase landing
scurrying away the birds,
the mists of morning standing.
Even if family does not invade
the morning will still dissipate…
for I begin to flutter around
and set my hands upon the gate.

Another of those rhyming words that came spilling out in December…
Beauty words,
Reassuring,
Enduring,
Confirming that,
Life must be drawn, drawn upon,
Quickly ,
Before it is interrupted,
Stolen away
Or…
Wasted.
Oh my, Dad…that is beautiful! Simply beautiful.
A colourful morning in black and white. Beautiful. 🙂
Fantastic crosshatch! Lovely words =)
I love both you and your dad’s poems! Your drawing is great too. Morning quiet is beautiful but being retired with the kids gone, I can admit that if I try to hang on to it for too long it just becomes boring and wasted as your dad says.
wonderful work
Thank you to each of you!!
