.............Morning On The Bayous Poem by elysabeth faslund

.............Morning On The Bayous



Ambivalent hues sensing
Another watercolor-draped
Ambient Dawn.
Do we not sing this Song...

Serene perspectives, seen
Silently. No words
Selected for necessity.
Do we not sing this Morn...

Marshes relinquish harbored
Meek beings...flying, swimming,
Meandering worn Paths.
Do we not sing this Dawn...

Ducks, deer, cranes, mink,
Dot bayou byways...
Disappearing to Sanctuary.
See to sing this Forever...

Once again...as hawks swoop,
Coyotes pack. Hungry Day.
Do we not sing Life's cycles...

By singing this Morning...

Some very strong images are visible throughout this very technically created poem. This piece needs reading several times over (and then some) in order to grasp its true sugnificance. Excellent! Take Care, Neil.
