A frozen hill side of trees sparkled in the frost. Day light is just beginning.


Quietly Singing

Each tree on the woodland mountain
Shapes a way to catch the day
Each branch is quietly there
A waiting, frozen fountain
Ready to spray the sun away
Into the rise of morning air

The sunlight waits in expectation
To be filled with the first song
Of the frosted bird
In echoing celebration
Of the joy to fly among
The morning word

Sparkle is the winter leaf
The crystals flower the dawn
With colour of the sky
Bringing warm relief
Another day is born
To the morning songbird cry
