As the quiet dew
wet blades of grass grew,
hungry rays of sunlight
slowly consumed
the last morsels of darkness
Faint echoes of the symphony
of frogs and crickets
waned in the distance
The staccato overture
of chirping red-breasted cardinals
announced the arrival
of the synchronized dawn
Leaves of ancient trees attested
nature’s physical rainbow
quantum leaping her celestial spectrum
to supreme expressions of exploding colors
canvassing the terrestrial plane:
True to symbiotic rhythms, all creation
coalesced into a Virginia spring morning.
