A Collage of Golden Moments

A splash of sunrise

floating on the lake is

a dollop of whipped cream joy

on the quiet pudding

of my morning.

. While the wind plays chimes

singing gently, lightly

in a whimsical spirit,

a drummer's staccato

plays back up to the melody

allegro and crescendo,

a counter point and chorus.

As the chimes curl in and out

of the percusser's refrain,

his laughter cymbals the close,

surprising the sunlight

spilling through the trees

in butterfly streamers,

shadow dancing lightly

on the breakfast table.
