The birds did not sing this morning <br />as a purple sun rose in the sky <br />no wing beat silently on perfumed air <br />as dark clouds gently drifted by <br />no cock crowed a second time <br />as light sneaked into morn <br />no lark rose to announce another dawn <br />moonlight had faded, run from approaching day <br />time kept its momentum and continued on its way <br />I had no fear of what the day might carry <br />as contented in your arms I lay.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/carefree-awakening/
