expertly frame the
morning view,
Like a pair of paintings
a curator placed
Close together for
greater appreciation
Skies of blues,
Cotton ball clouds of
layered whites.
Sunlight dappled on the
shaddock tree leaves
and un-ripened fruit in
the foreground,
The large, dark leaves
of the breadfruit tree in the background.
Multiple shades of
green.
The daily sight
refreshes my spirit.
I turn my focus to the
faucet
and add my praises to
those of the singing birds
and crowing roosters
as the cold water
refreshes my warm body.
Aiiee - ALLELUIA!
