Up before the birds and on the porch with my coffee listening to the dark. The crickets’ chirping sounds half asleep. A far away hoot owl calls from under its covers. The night time players are calling it a day as they snuggle into dens dry from dew and last night’s rain. Sleep is heavy in the air even as dawn approaches. But soon little heads will appear from under wings and wake to greet the day. Each will raise its voice to sing the sun to rise. Oh so gentle the morning lies wrapped in its dark cloak that it tugs softly at my eyelids. I seek out my chair and blanket and cuddle back into oblivion. I sleep until nine, waking to an overcast sky that is as groggy as I am. LGR©8/6/17 |

Blues said it best. Your morning interludes with that cuppa joe and all the sounds is pure Lori. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Thanks Blues, I haven't the patience to paint or draw a still life or landscape and I'm no photographer, but I do seem to get words to cooperate often as not. Thank you for being a fan of my "art". ~L |

Jerry, Thanks for the compliment! Nice to know I'd be recognized if scrawled on a wall in certain places. ~L |
