Cool Morning

a breezy morning
cool air washes my face
my hands
my toes

the sun’s long rays
through fences and trees
make long dark shadow
where the critters play

to be fair
some are absorbing
the warmth and light
where they lay

while most resident
two-leggers are hidden
warm in their
secure dens

morning has begun
full of promise
potential for good
works and fun
