fledgist | a better prospect

no answer comes from shadow in the dawn
the morning light today is weak and pale
we see the waning year begin to fail

all seems so dull on driveway and lawn
we bring ourselves to understand the scale
no answer comes from shadow in the dawn

a different sort of picture might be drawn
when i've gone out to retrieve the day's mail
and obtained repetition of old tale
no answer comes from shadow in the dawn
