The Sky, The Birds… And I

Early morning birds are calling
Pre-sunrise winds are rising
Peaceful is this autumn moment
The sky, the birds… and I
Colours on the east’s horizon
Not enough yet to break night’s disguising
Shadows and the dark still sharing
The sky, the birds… and I
Leaves upon the sidewalk skating
As the city folk begin their waking
Light leaks in as the day is breaking
The sky, the birds… and I
Sunrise on the east’s horizon
Colours with the birdsong rising
Daylight soon will share the moment
The sky, the birds… and I
Morning now joins with the flowing
Shadows falling, colours growing
The night is gone, now day is showing
The sky, the birds… and I.
