Deep autumn air
Finagles through window seams
Invigorating my soul from sleep
Cradled by feather pillows
And fleece blankets
Loves sleep-dreaming around me
Rain forest coffee beans
Party in my thalamus
Crimson pomegranate seeds
Plink into the bowl
Dark wheat bread lies rustic in it’s basket
Tasting of sunshine, rain, and wind
Wood-stove’s heat warms toes and floors
Mocha dog, comforting, protecting nearby
Morning moves over the Blue Ridge
Breaking the quiet stillness of dawn
My day, only beginning
And just like that my cornucopia
Overflows
Bursts goodness
From the million little joys
That fill my life
