Sustenance

At dawn, I stood at God’s table
Watching the hawk take its breakfast
Drinking the wine of sunrise into my soul
Awakening the limp muscles beating stir
Feeling the fleet of autumn softly purr
In its widespread colors annunciating clearly
Breezed in trepidation nearly
Leaving note, one by one on the ground
Blessed by all the wonder to be found
Bowing softly, as day makes a precise
Statement of thought as food

Excfellent writing, Diamond. Especially like
"feeling the fleet of autumn softly purr."

Yo ThisDiamond,

This sounds good.  I just don't know about thought as food.  That doesn't sound very satisfying.  Of course that's me.
