A DAY ASLEEP

Unlived
A day asleep

A mourning dove
her mournful morning call
unanswered

Triumphant crow
you stole your breakfast
unborn

All the day awaiting
the promise of needed rain
unfulfilled

Last rays of lovely light
slip toward the night
undone

Oh, grave precepts
along the dharma way
unkept
