Ah, this Piece of Day
Virginia Salter

this lovely, lovely piece of day
when moist of air holds heat at bay
of summer sun, its powered throng
and rays that sing a lazy song

when butterflies flit awake
seeking for a sugar cake
within the succulent of blossom
whose sweetness is completely awesome

and honeybees buzz their alarms
to waken all to morning’s charms
when shadows west from eastern rise
and early birds seek out their prize

and slumberers snooze much too long
to hear and see this morning song
oh Saturday of summer’s weeks
shimmers down and over peaks

laces fern and garden’s grow
more delicate than one might sew
for it’s creation’s sweet betide
that escorts in this summer side

Good morning to you VAS, I'm just a little late. Nice poem!!!

Do not fear going forward slowly,
Fear only standing still.

*sigh* I USED to get up early *LOL* Desire to ever see my friends forced my hand a bit, so now I stay awake far too late and sleep 'till the morning's almost gone! But I remember well the morning's boon, and you painted a pretty picture of one such morning. Thank you for the imagery!
