With a stretch and a yawn, to again greet the day,
like the dew on my lawn, which, quite heavily lay.
There are things on my mind which condensed in the night,
likely to dissipate with the coming of light.

In the quiet and relative calm of this hour,
see the slow motion sun chasing shadows, devour,
that last morsel of night from this daily buffet
causing time to elapse in a much different way.

Different hands to determine a much different pace
through a land of discovery, wonder, and grace,
as in simple observance of all that surrounds
may a clarity, lost, once again, there be found.

For the theme of this morning, these thoughts which condensed,
like the dew on my lawn, have in some funny sense,
been combined, each together in ways so sublime
that for one perfect moment they've cancelled out time.

And, if day-dreams these are, let this moment extend,
for, if time can't be stopped, there are ways it will bend.

Very nicely done Dr.   Enjoyed. Chris

Indeed it can be bent!  What a wonderfully written piece, I really found it easy to read, and enjoyed the content.
