Finding Those Moments
There are fleeting, special moments
in the early morning light
just before the coming dawn
when day proceeds from night.
From black, the sky takes on a hue
of rich and transient wonder-
a precious robe of royal blue
with diamond stars still bright.
I’ve had the privilege of this sight
through tall, old trees sky-clad.
My window view allows me
to see this heavenly scene
in such fleeting, special moments
of the early morning light.
When Winter goes and Spring returns
with flowers of many a hue,
I’ll still look out my window
for that sky of royal blue.
