Ode to Nuptial Dawn

Sterling Warner

In
the
eastern
morning’s mist
& Rocky Mountains
moisture evaporate sunrays
increase, finger their way across still sleepy valleys,
urging daylight sounds freely thrive,
mingle, & wander:
fresh, fecund,
flowers
open
bloom spring
to summer
signs swell,
fragrances waft
travel north to south east to west
along flight paths established by Canadian geese
& ruby throated hummingbirds
creating moments
perfect for
weddings
through
June.
