Morning Light, Indoors and Out, as Fall Lingers On

Days are short.
Nights are long.
Dawn comes long after the house is alive and stirring.

Oh, then -- light behind the Eastern Woods!

To the northeast, 

more dramatic sunlit clouds --

And to south-southeast, another show -- 

More quietly, trees and gardens 

glow warmly.

We are promised a sunny day,

with perhaps a high reaching 40 degrees.

The world leaps to life

in the light.
