Early awakening

My lady guardian and I awoke early this morning; snuggled in our bed, listening to the dawn chorus. At first, a darkened sky with a single chirrup  building to a crescendo as the fingers of light spread across the sky to an all encompassing blaze of sunshine. From the comfort of  our mattress, the pigeons cooed atop the roof and the apple tree, laden with fruit, came in to view, the sun dappling it's leaves. A lazy, hazy start to the day with a refreshing coolness. After performing ones ablutions, I partook of an early light breakfast whilst my lady guardian prepared the first cup of English tea, to be partaken from the comfort of ones bed whilst contemplating the day ahead, the soft golden light illuminating our thoughts and plans. Dew drenched spiders webs glisten in the early sunlight, the light breeze gently stirring the leaves like a gentle caress. The stillness of this hour, before all around us stir, is a bewitching time. The calm before the storm, one of my lady guardian's favourite times; the joy of an early summers morn cannot be underestimated for bathing in the early morning glow of sunshine sets one up for the day.
