On some spring days, 
if you sit 
outside
early in the
morning,
before the world truly wakes,
the grass is still damp from
dew and
shining
in the
sun,
the air has a chill,
but with 
promise of warmth to come.
Everything is
still and 
quiet, 
and a lone bird 
is the 
only one who 
dares to 
make a 
sound, 
because the world is still waking 
up.
