Sweet time, exaggerated days
early beginning at dawn's light
silent time on the edge of dark
angels singing quietly, watching
mankind, throw back the covers
first sunrays strike my face
topping the crest over the valley
sky, rose- streaked coral
wide awake, wild canaries hail me
umbilical cord tying me to heaven
logic eludes me on such a morn
but the exotic and prickly sense
of pulsating, throbbing life
impinges, bombards from my toes
to my astonished eyes
my heartbeat up several notches
smiles cavorting
salivating touch and texture
rough as tree bark, smooth silk
aroma, lavender and wild roses
in the liquid silence, I stand
stretch, acknowledge this new day
this brand new, beautiful day!
