Canopies

Morning swallows

Swooping & sweeping

As if Threading lines through space

Streaking & weaving

Between tree tops & barn peaks

As if Warping & wefting

The emerging daylight

Sewing sky tapestries

Drawing me into their colors

Canopies of early delight

Flights of their wings

Sweeping & swooping

As if threading though my heart

Morning swallows

Awaken me—

to the glory of this new day
