Early...
Quiet
Morning is a bird
perched on a branch
growing out of the dawn
getting ready to take flight
with a flutter, of wings
and a burst of song.
To abandon
the soft serenity of night
and soar into the light
with fearless anticipation.

Ida,
How perfectly you have captured a moment at dawn in the song and flight of a bird. Your words are simple and fresh as the dew. ~L

"...in a branch
growing out of the dawn..."

This is a perfect line.
The whole poem calms and inspires hope. Lovely as always.

This depiction would be enough to make the Goddess of the Dawn blush, Ida. So much promise comes to us in morning, a new day to do things differently, better even. The sky is the limit to what anyone can do with the breath of fresh air each morning gives us, and your poem takes us right up to that limit.
