Through the misty mountain fog
the critters begin to stir,
chippy looks to stuff his cheeks
hummingbird wings a-whir,
momma deer keeps a watchful eye
on the youngens in the field,
birdfeeders sway with overfed squirrels
blue jays swoop from perches concealed,
dainty, bold pink mandevilla blooms
turn to meet the morning light,
cardinals roost in evergreen trees
making that beautiful red more bright,
the fragrance from the jasmine plant
dances across the faintest breeze,
the fattest drops of morning dew
coaxed from the grandest trees,
chirping seems the only sound
save the bark of a dog's morning greet,
a whole beautiful universe busy at work
I observe from my office seat.
