I Thank The Author Of This Day

I thank the author of this day.
The weather has warmed.
Whatever forces control such gifts
Have made this morning special.

A gentle offshore breeze covers the sound
That the seven foot symmetrical ocean waves
 Must insist upon the boulders that line the shore.
 I attribute the songs of the crows and gulls
That circle the blue/green ocean
To a lightness in their flight


Yes, in a more cynical turn of mind,
I would fault all but the ocean and sky,
The grass, trees and other artificial placements
Of the supporting cast does not,  
On this most magnificent of days, assault my senses.

This morning is a testament to my good fortune.
