Dawn breaks
Over waters
Of this quietly awakening small marsh
Birds fly, gators bake on banks
Warm sun
Pretty skies
All mine
*
Slight breezes
Move willows
And the reeds and rushes sway
Back and forth in perfect sync
Morning brings
To life
All around
*
Morning coffee
Quick notes
Take in the sunshine and warmth
Take notice of reflections in waters
Perfect start
Perfect day
All mine

The light in front of my house has gone out
And the world is a beautiful dark
It’s funny how quickly the eyes can adjust
And see all the activities going on
There’s no birds chirping
They’re long finished at this hour
But, in the short span I’ve been out here
I’ve seen three hunting cats,
Who are busy checking the shrubbery
For easy meals
There goes the fox
Who finds my yard
To be the perfect bathroom
Then there are the possums,
Who waddle down the street,
Like they’ve been drinking all day
And the sloths are moving about,
Up in the trees
I can hear the coyotes,
Who howl off in the darkness
I bet there’s more than twenty
To their little pack
Occasionally, I hear the bark of a dog
But again, nowhere close by
It’s an amazing amount of activity
A show I would have paid for,
And all right outside my front door
There goes a stirring in my bushes,
But nothing too big
And what ever it was
Decided not to make an appearance
Which is too bad
Because with all the wildlife out tonight,
I fully expect to see Marlin Perkins
Come trudging out
And give me an in-depth lecture
About this ‘Wild Kingdom’
On my very dark,
But very busy street
