Gentle Dawn

Today the dawn greeted me with a thousand different songs
Each one a bewilderingly original symphony
The sweet darlings of the dawn,
Those charming angel-birds,
Fling out their pearls into the new day
Their innocent tunes excelling the juxtaposed frequencies
Of the German greats of classic music.
Gentle dawn, stay ever young.

The pleasant chatter of the birds
Are like the racous yet homely invitations of the street vendor
Like the happy cacophony of the marketplace at peak time
Gentle dawn, stay ever young.
