Morning Composition

Thinking about oxygen I breathe;

Thinking about nitrogen added

Making the sky reflect blue.

Thinking about what it takes

To make each morning I wake.

Thinking about chlorophyll—

The green of lawn beneath my feet.

Thinking about condensation and

Evaporation, about the morning dew.

Thinking about each blade of grass

Ornamented and bowing gracefully

With a tearful drop or two.
