Dr Molly’s evocative Nature poem celebrates morning – exclusively for Different Truths.

there wafts in
       a caring breeze
from
        somewhere
beyond,
        caressing...

the vague
        dream
of night 
         persists
in memory...
 
lost in
         the throng,
the crowd,
          how you
were searching
         something

your pair
         of specs?
footwear?
 
your little one
          awake
lisping out 
         sweet nothings
toddling
         after you...
 
nature fresh
         after her
drizzle bath...
 
birds chirping
          welcome!
 
the household
         half awake
still
          in stupor...
 
the babe,
           the bud
the bird 
           around
here is 
           the start
fresh
           and new...
