 Title:
						Summer mornings
 
 
 There is a quiet joy in the stillness,
 awakening at half-past four.
 The stillness mantles roses,
 webs deftly holding dew
 that quivers luminous on grasses.
 
 Even the ecstatic blackbird
 has not yet filled his brazen breast
 with morning air.
 His carillon is yet to come
 in honour of the moment
 night and day meet.
 
 As he breaks the silence
 the world awakens.
 Is there magic in this moment?
 Does the blackbird know,
 in his feathered breast,
 the very moment when to sing,
 releasing the cacophony
 of life?
