Gray, overcast skies

Precious rain descends

Morning’s gentle spirit

Welcome back dear friend

Time’s hands standing still

Serenity shares

Fine mist of heaven’s grace

View from kitchen chair

Songbirds’ harmony

Nearby thicket sings

Always perfect pitch

Soft feather’s bowstring

Everlasting gift

Calm shower transcends

Sweetness cascading down

Thank you dearest friend

Grateful for this day

Filled with freshest hope

Morning calls, “Come again”

Now, down periscope
