Waking up

Prompt: Autumn mornings, sunshine, crisp air, birds and calmness, year's end and day's beginnings. Write anything you want about this.


===================

I wake up, thinking
this huge world is one word
yet, who’d guess it?

in my garden, the day’s beginning
in seasonal triumph
since the sun shines, the air’s crisp

the ground’s rusted with leaves
a lone bird sings lusting for spring
on this autumn morning

for others, though,
war, hunger, natural disasters
thickening like distant clouds

and I wish for an imagined bridge
over all the dirt of our world
worth everything we own

a huge puzzle this world
yet who’d guess it
it is only one word
