My Solemn Pledge to You ...

Five days. A poem a day. Here's that camping poem I mentioned.

Morning at Oswald West State Park, or
The Atheist’s Dilemma

Fed by birdsong,
The warming sun
stretched seven fingers
from behind a
Sitka Spruce who had watched
two centuries of sunrises,

And I did not know who
to thank.
