Early morning freshens air.
Trees appear from dark of night.
As I rise the chilly skies
Help me smile with welcomed light.
Evening consummates all this,
Adds some darkness to the day.
Silhouettes are what I get
As I smile to find my way.
Linked to K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge with the theme of “shadows, shapes and silhouettes”. It is also linked to dVerse Quadrille. Kim from Writing in North Norfolk is hosting with the word “early”.

Your quadrille has a wonderfully steady pace to it, Frank, like the advancing day. Being a morning person, I appreciate the fresh air and the trees appearing with the light. It’s evening here and well past silhouettes – it’s pitch black outside except for a stunning moon that has made me smile too!
