Early morning is the purest
and most peaceful time
Soft sunlight dips its rays across
A welcoming, soft toned sky
The moon has vanished
Waiting on her time
And life surrenders to the warmth
All around

Early morning holds the promise
of the burgeoning new day
Dappled leaves and branches
In a morning breeze softly sway
And what stretches before us
None can say

Early morning wakes us with a kiss
The quietest affection
Like a lover just out of reach
Each breath we take so simple
There is nothing left to say
Early morning
With its secrets for the day
