FROM MY BACKYARD
Late dawn, under a clearing sky,

I listen to bird whistles in my backyard.

Orange streaks, and linings silver, why,

There is every reason to gasp.

For morning has reached a clearing sky.

Hope smiles as moon lingers;

Orbits imagination to another try,

At authorship of cloud ocean and forest.

Wheels of toil, how they grind oh my.

Continuation whirls like everlasting;

To new day, under a clearing sky,

  4. You fold your repeating lines in so they conclude just right. I am thinking of the song, "Morning Has Broken."
