four in the morning
gradually thin greyness oozing light
like developing magic amazing the photographic darkroom
a gently leaking of sound the tuning of nature's instruments
a stirring of lifeunhurried unfurling as it always has been
a time for reflection time for growing life
the eight week kitten loose in my arms
squeals softly she feels it too wriggles lightly excitingly anticipating day
my thoughts grateful I have another one
four in the morning one more emerging summer dawn
