Morning

Morning
casts beams of light
through the blinds of my room.
The birds sing and call from outside.
Creation delights the end of the night,
but my sleepy bones will not budge.
So for now this pillow
can shut out the
morning.

I actually am (typically) an early riser. That morning I had just spent the prior day loading all of my in laws (many) possessions into a moving van, and my body was reminding me that I'm not as young as I once was. Thank you for the comment.

Good Morning! Be Early- Riser. Enjoy Morning. I like the line 'Creation delights the end of the night.
