The dawn chorus reaches its crescendo
As the sun rises slowly, gently and with purpose
The trees and plants wake from dreams of acorns and seeds
Secure in the knowledge their roots run deep
The distant hum of early morning traffic
Somehow feels part of nature's plan
As I breathe in the sweet smell of mother earth's bounty
Are we still connected?
The freshness of the springtime new
Invigorates and stirs my soul
I feel content, at peace
And I wonder at the sheer
Magnificence of it all
In awe of the life around me
If only I were always this humble
But my kind of life goes on
Bills need to be paid,
Jobs need to be worked
These civilised distractions
Shallow in comparison
Take a hold of the mind
And yet, all I have to do
Is to look out of any window
And I'm singing with the dawn chorus

Very true GF.
We had a silent dawqn chorus today - the birds are out in protest about their energy bills going up and now claim theres less stale bread put out fot them... people are eating it.
Looks like their feathers are well and truly ruffled.
Lovely poem in praise of re-awakening each day to the beauty of the natural world all around us.
Lol. Thanks Dusk. I won't leave a long reply in case your eyes run out
LOL made me actually laugh out loud, i'm trying to save on eyesight as you can see from the number of typos in my comment.
A beautiful scene of nature with bird sounds filling the air.
Thanks Roz. Inspired by morning jog
