Morning Moon, 2013, (c) Colleen Briggs
A bird sings
in deep December;
its persistent serenade
coaxes morning into dark.
What memories of summer nectar
fill its trilling head?
What longing for lilting spring breeze
floods its swelling chest?
Here, where heavy, settling layers
weight our hearts in sleep,
a singular bird refuses to notice,
to succumb.
It rises before dawn
and teases the day into being.
