SURPRISES


The birds are not awake yet –
Though crouching – dawn’s alarm
Is upstaged by the sparkle
Of heaven’s star-struck farm –

Suspense – Anticipation
Are contradictory –
The first is pain that pierces most –
The other one is glee –

While autumn’s intermission
Gives cue for winter’s scene –
A cast of characters from spring
Are clowning on the green.
