Daybreak

Birdsong from which
Joyfulness is drawn
Heralds in the dappling
Light of Dawn
Bringing with the day
Sweet melody
Dancing lightly comes
The break of dawn

Sparkling jewels
Made from
Drops of dew
Scattered on the velvet
Blades of grass
Shadowed crisscross patterns
Lightly drawn
Sunlight tiptoes in
The break of dawn
