daily
good morning
open your heavy eyelids
i know the sun hasn’t risen yet but
you have to
rushing through the house to make that
first cup of coffee
maybe in your haste you can
admire the way earth turns it’s head
for that warmth
feel the cold air and the way it
nips at your cheeks
affectionately, while your feet take you down
the winding road
but take your time
and listen to the way the trees try to shake off
morning dew
notice how the sun dyes the cold air
in it’s loving gaze
the clouds hesitant to crowd around it
but just like you, they can’t help the
space they take up
so they proudly greet the sun
everyone up this early too
exhausted to make a fuss
the bags under your eyes protest
as you bask in the morning light
a slight smile despite the time
i guess
you can’t help but
have a good morning.
