Morning designs Her presence shaping this dream-like melody. I am used to this familiar beginning. I yawn stretch inhale robust coffee (with a hint of Splenda). The aroma stimulates the senses while sunlight crawls through Winter’s naked trees perching on branches tapping my windowpane (tap, tap, tap) and spreading its fingers onto my desk—the shadows find synergy like Latin jazz on a surreal Sunday afternoon. This Morning I connect with the natural world celebrating all it has given.
