I wake up on a brand-new day
With the world I know asleep;
Dawn breaks across the misty bay
Pink glow makes life complete.
Wide estuary* sees ships go by
Small fishing smacks accost
I’m lucky as it’s warm and dry
Though mountain views** are lost.
Framed weeping willows offer shade
A squirrel shoots straight past
Much varied wild life on parade
Small insects hide in grass…
Blue numberplates of local cars
Enhance B.C.’s bold claim;
It merits certainly five stars
This Autumn without rain!
