I slept beyond the tiger lilies today,
they were awake with a painted face,
dancing in the risen sun with the morning wind
I saw the roses overnight had more colorful red blooms,
as the birds in the trees were singing a cheerful tune,
The green grass of home I saw was even awake,
from the dry dormant state that heavenly rain proclaimed
from a few yesterdays that was anything but plain
as it painted over all the dry brown stain with a deep wet brush
The birds and squirrels were no longer just digging up the dust.
but worms and nuts thanks to the living artist wet painted touch,
but even in the dryer state of this place the tiger lilies came up,
and beautifully decorated and painted my morning cup.
