a new day yawns awake lazily
and...
like clockwork they appear, silently...
owning the same spot every morning
perched atop yonder rooftop
my little friends the baby birds
how quietly they sit, observing...
awaiting the rising of the sun
i watch them watch the far horizon
so do the butterflies flitting
as they hover over daylight's
newly washed blooms
morning dewdrops poise as if
they too waited for the ambient dance of sunlit skies
so they may gently fall fully formed
in prismatic watery splendor, to cool the earth
i forget to sip my tea as it grows tepid
me, lost in silent reverie and reverence of birds and morn
in tandem, as if in a secret message shared
both little fledglings rise and flee my scrutiny
i hear a distant mother's birdsong
perhaps calling her children back home to the nest
i hear the world slowly awakening...
bye, bye for today little baby birds
IT IS TIME TO MEET THE NEW DAY!

Camellia
piercing winter gloom camellia blooms softly such a lovely sight. In winter, in the arboretum and the yards in our region, camellias blooms. Camellia is a tea family plant with lovely flowers. In Japan, camellias have been painted very frequently. Here is one by me (watercolor).

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

Gosh this was sooooo beautiful! Loved your poem!
What a delightful title, such a pleasant surprise for a morning reverie.
I love the title ‘ baby birds and morning tea’ It puts you in such a good headspace when you watch the birds and how they interact with the morning. I love how we can feel how truly centred and grounded you are through this poem, I love the colourful words you use to bring the imagery about in our minds. I love the pace the flow and how it’s like a sweet dance performed before our eyes. You’re truly talented, it is like you give yourself as a vessel to the inspiration around you.
