(In Honor of) Morning
golden sunlight fills the room with its
honeyed glow
morning greets the capacious
couch
tiled floors
silhouetted
model of a
prancing horse
(a gift from a friend)
this sunrise is unusual in
it's mellowed coloration
amber shadings
subtle radiance
perhaps this full moon time evokes
such warmed orange
incandescence
spilling over tree limb
garden fence
encircling
back room in this gesture
of welcome
to this new day
on this
hallowed earth
which always
honors
the early hours
which always honors
morning
