Dark In the Morning

It's dark in the morning 
But then it stays light 
Until, by the clock,
It's approaching the night.

For those who wake early,
The day is on hold.
To walk in the dark,
I cannot be cajoled.

So I wait until daybreak
To head out the door
But am glad that the sun 
Lasts much more than before.

In the blink of an eye
When I wake, there'll be light,
Then the dawn and the dusk
Will set everything right.

Daylight Savings Time does require a resetting of our brains, but I enjoy longer afternoons. Ilene. I always enjoy your light verse -- reminiscent of Andy Rooney. Nice work!
