A Sun Kissed Morning Poem by Daleen Enslinstrydom

The rays greet the dew-fresh grass
as if to say: "How do you do? "
The dew sparkle and glisten
like diamonds
in a sun kissed morning.

Birds do twitter and chirp and frolic
while the wind whistles softly
through the spring-green oak trees
in the front of the yard.

The morning smells fresh through the open window
and winter has disappeared
like the night does when dawn breaks
and spring laughs at it
with happiness and joy
as a symphony of the breaking morning.

The housecat stretches itself out
as if it is bring homage to the day
and with a leap it jumps off the bed
just as you do awake
and stretch yourself out
opening your blue eyes
that looks like the summer skies
and at that moment
I do love you like spring
and I see that the sun
is colouring the horizon
and I know that it is going to be
a glorious day
as your first kiss
press like a ray of sun
on my lips.
