(Title: A Writers Day - Dedicated to Dear Marge!

I awake daily at dawn

To a birdsong chorus-filled morning

And after a soothing morning bath

Washing away

The unwanted bits of yesterday

For today's clean-slate start

To provide one with positive energy

For the yet-to-unfold day

My dogs and I then set off

For our brisk early morning walk

To the beach

Through the wondrous

Panbros salt ponds

A teeming and glorious

World Heritage Ramsay Wetlands

Bird paradise of countless bird species

And as we finally arrive at the people-free beach

We take our walk

In harmonious-step

With the rhythmic ocean-symphony

Dogs and human friend

All lovingly enveloped

In the misty dew

Of the Atlantic Ocean

Our faces

Gently kissed good morning

By the fresh and uplifting salty sea-spray

And we then return for the day's writing

Hoping it will be an inspiration-filled day

And that we shall be masterly and creative

With inspiration

From the deepest recesses

Of our subconscious

And write words to inspire

Words to cheer the sad and lonely

Words to prompt love wherever love is needed

Words to illuminate darkened corners

Of souls darkened by deep depression

Words to leave as one's literary footprint

Spanning parts of the world wide web

To be Googled and enjoyed

By countless generations

Till the very end of time

And my inspiration my dear

Is you Marge

My Muse!
