In the gentle hush of approaching dawn,
That precedes day's greeting chorus;
I sit in SELF, at edge of lawn,
Where the garden meets the forest.
                                    
Later, as the world of man makes haste...
I share the roles of both guest and host;
Nature caters four senses and coffee serves Taste;
The choir breaks for crumbs from my toast.
                                    
As the day settles in and duties begin,
I pen rhymes to the Powers that Be.
Then, breaking for bread...my body is fed,
And I nourish my friends in the trees.
                                    
Tap !  tap !    A gentle rap.
Flesh and bone upon aged wood.
I'm drawn from the arms of a blissful nap,
And told that "God is good!"
