Stolen Time?

Consciousness of sound
Momentary wakefulness
Awareness returns.

The calm grey of dawn
Recumbent cows are stirring
Sleeping world waiting.

The first sound of birds
An urgent call and restless
The flourish soon gone.

Blurred edges of day 
Nocturnal meets diurnal
Time stands juxtaposed. 

Thoughts like whispers flow 
Slowly losing clarity
Recrudescent dream.
