A New Day

In the shade of thirsty trees
a light breeze caressing skin
Word is a little cooler
today from the days just past
Still early morning is sweet
when no one else is about
I can sit and make myself
one with nature around me

Young crows call out to be fed
their noise is complained about
I find them interesting
with unseen intelligence
Loyal to each family
and the murder of their choice
Watching parents train their young
touches my soul so deeply

Silence of nature enfolds
filling me with harmony
I breathe deep the scented air
sighing with sweet contentment
The sun peaks through shading trees
giving hint of heat to come
Its touch is tender on face
lifted to greet a new day

I really liked these lines, Karen. I liked the poems entirety, but especially those lines.

I find crows to be very interesting and intelligent also. I enjoyed this little scene very much.
