problem-free
a new day is dawning tenderly
on rainbow-hued and ocean-scented sheets
the laughter of countless infants
appears on mouthwatering breakfast trays
our screen-free window is always wide open
it invites in the freshly-breeding families of house wrens
their united eyes watch their yet-to-be-hatched eggs
tap dance on cue – uninhibited and carefree
the matured ones chant the elating news the wind brings
amid a gentlest breeze – putting all worries at ease
the resulting love-songs taste like chilled lemonade
on a day of a hottest summer’s blaze
the world has just been declared a problem-free zone
