At Dawn

 Birdsongs at dawn

That time when i yawn


A sliver of light seeps in

My eyes seek to invite


Ah the wind so mild in sway

Banana fronds in shadow play 


Magical the hours of newness 

Erasing all my sleepiness 


Ah birdsongs at dawn

    So lovely. I'm lulled, and yet also somehow awakened. Excellent, Gillena.

    It's a special time of day, dawn, and also dusk. I love the changing of the guard.
