benevolence

the glint of morning coming through the shades
gives us a sense of a far brighter time
day's kingdom is so short too soon it fades

the lawn seems perfect the neat-mown blades
contrasting with the building's oldish grime
the glint of morning coming through the shades

the seed new-planted soon the world invades
though winter will first cover it with rime
day's kingdom is so short too soon it fades

the birds announce with their sharp serenades
they still control their domains at their prime
the glint of morning coming through the shades

across the sky a single cloud parades
no rain today but promise maritime
day's kingdom is so short too soon it fades

a joyful peace now this moment pervades
as soft breeze leads the breeze in happy mime
day's kingdom is so short too soon it fades
the glint of morning coming through the shades
