A New Day

After a restless night I wake My tangled covers damp with sweat Trying my best to remember the dream Knowing its nothing real, and yet... The sun's first shine is on the wall And the smell of coffee finds me Slowly I put my thoughts to rest The day's possibility now I see ... The gathered birds are chattering Announcing a brand new day A loving voice calls "Good Morning' With it, the nightmare fades away.....

what a wonderful way to meet this challenge. I should have tried to be more inventive even though I hate mornings. But I decided not to try. "naughty Andie"

What a great way to eradicate the negative impact of the nightmare...seeing the sun on the wall, smelling the coffee and being greeted by the birds. I'm just wondering whose "loving voice" is wishing you good morning, dear LNC. Are you holding back on me? Enjoyed this delightful write very much and wish you success in the contest. Love, Carolyn
