we are most honest with ourselves in the morning
Despite my qualms with living, I’ve come to appreciate the morning.
It is when I’m at my most calm. It last for just a few seconds. The sun’s warmth plays a complementary role and I wish for the ability to indulge in it more.
The captivating sounds of early morning. Chirping birds feeding their young, planes flying overhead, and various wildlife occupy the space outside my window. Though my eyes are shut, I feel all sensations — just a couple more minutes
It often goes unnoticed. Unappreciated. Our work and other man-made responsibilities allow it to be that way. More times than not.
It’s the few seconds I want to last just a bit longer. Please, a couple more minutes of just this would be nice.
I could feel my mind beginning to wake. My vision is blurred and go for a stretch.
Back to surviving.
I yearn for just a couple more minutes.
