Morning has broken

Morning has broken the still of the night

and brought in the pain, anguish, and strife

wrapped in a parcel of gorgeous sunlight

and bound with the string of merry bird songs.

And that gypsy well known for lonely vigils

invites them all in for friendly debate

in attempts to discern the merit and worth

of this strange and peculiar phenomenon. 

She serves up her best from stores of wisdom

and lays small-talk on a china platter

but greeted by silence that gypsy resolves

to not ever again be a hostess of note.

She can’t entertain a group of strangers

that simply have nothing in common

but after the chore of clearing away

she’s left with a beautiful day –

and she’ll do it again and again, again,  

because the effort is worth the outcome!
