Doug’s Keep

Early morning breeze
steals up my kilt to awaken parts
not welcoming it’s icy touch.

Bright, clear sunshine
continues it’s battle, changing
winter gray to spring green.

Hot, welcome coffee
steaming with it’s greeting
black, arid, thick and delicious.

Tis a morning, glorious
thanking God for breath
living precious this morn.

The cock crows
with his genetic delight
strutting about so important.

Canine crew rush about
anointing with abandon
the edge of their territory.

Deep satisfying breath
a cheery “Good Day”
exploding with the greeting.

Mama awakens, grumbling
as blankets pulled away
exposing my private playground.

Ah, I am the morning king
my realm secure, comfortable
even as the queen slaps me.

How rude to interrupt your reign like that!

To love another person is to see the face of God.

How can you save me?
When the dark comes right in and takes me,
from my front walk and into bed,
where it kisses my face and eats my head. Shivaree
