The cool morning air invites

Gone are the long nights

The dawn chorus is awake

Slow down and partake

Enjoying wildlife industry

So much activity

Before the sultry air

Settles to impair

The coolness of this hour

Sitting in nature's bower

Sun rises early now

For those early risers, wow!

But worth striving

To see the solstice arriving

I'm watching too much CNN

I thought the ride was the breaking news

I wish there was a six-month lull

And a future with better views

It's low 90s for a high in Dallas. Tonight, Dan and I talked about a morning walk. Won't hold true for long but until then...

I think the roller coaster never ends, Julie.

What a whimsical and wonderful ride this is.

When light and darkness meet

Do they shake hands?

Blow a kiss?

Bow, flirt, dance?

Or passing strangers on the street

It’s a shadowy relationship, difficult to fathom except later, upon reflection. The partners switch places, exchange numbers, and head for opposite sides of the stage.
