Haloed Tree

I woke at 5:20am this morning to work a very early assignment. Afterwards, I went to a local mountain view and the muse hit me....bam! I love when that happens. I hope your day starts and ends as beautifully as mine did:

You are why I rise so early,

crawl from beneath warm covers

to stand in still-dark morning

and wait with arbor patience

for first rays 

to set ablaze

my outstretched limbs.
