Morning Missed


The night was restless; I forgot to set my alarm and got up late.  Remnants of mist lingered in the air.  It was undoubtedly glorious earlier, but now, the sun was far above the horizon. 

You don't get overs on mornings.




I missed a misty morning as I lay asleep in bed
Bright rays, the trees adorning, streamed through my dreams instead.




A rabbit ate the meadow rue, from what I ascertain
The only bunnies in my view hopped 'round inside my brain.




The droplets on the new-mown lawn were diamonds, so I'm told
But all the treasures of the dawn were someone else's gold.




In dreams, I held some butterflies, but dreams I cannot keep
I missed a misty sunrise as I lay there fast asleep.




Linking with Saturday's Critters

Anniversaries


Don came into the bedroom this morning with his daily weather report just after my feet hit the deck at 5:30.  He had been up since 4:25, and he told me that there was an unusually heavy dew this morning.  I've never known anyone so in tune with atmospheric conditions as Don is, and, as was the case this morning, he often gives me a heads up about what I might want to shoot.  It's only one of his many endearing qualities.  This morning, he informed me that we've been married 8400 days.  That's exactly 23 years, to normal people.  23 really good ones.
