Morning is a Woman

Morning is a woman
cloudy-eyed
humming softly
sheer gown of night
tossed slowly to the floor
standing bare with possibility
in front of her wardrobe of seasons
deciding her mood

today
a flowing sky blue dress 
with pattern of easy clouds
the morning star her necklace
hair down to catch the wind
with perfume of evening rain.

I hate to see her leave.
