I have included an audio clip of me reading the poem, Daybreak. To hear it, simply click on the link below and wait a few seconds for it to begin.
Early Morning at Bagnegrole (Photograph by Yolanda Litton)
Daybreak
The garden at daybreak.
Before the sun dares
to unveil the dawn.
Clouds and birds.
Dew glimmering
on grass.
Stillness.
Blurred trail of bats
filing into the attic
for rest.
Clouds bloom.
Birds now singing.
Morning shadows lead the way.
My thanks to friend and photographer, Yolanda Litton, for her beautiful photograph from the south of France. Seeing it inspired this poem after bringing back memories of my own travel to Provence.
A Poet in Time 
My favorite time of day.
