This book represents a thirty-day period of my poetry journal. Each poem addresses
the dominant thoughts occupying my mind during the early morning hours of a given
day.
This collection of poetry addresses the nature of time, reflections on the natural world, the difficulty of loss,
contemporary social issues and gratitude for life.

Up and down through all those
Picturesque grasslands and rolling slopes
Of stately Six Fables Ranch,
He and his dauntless steed Vigor, boldly rode.
Tall, stately, sure of himself, --
He thought he could easily lasso his
Often-watching, always-warming sun.
