When the Morning Comes

Not all is blissful when the morning comes,
And we do not always long to kiss the dawn.
Sometimes the body and spirit cling to the night;
But duty demands that we must rise without a fight.

Vehicles of every stripe awake from their restful sleep,
With engine and road sounds disturbing and awaking me.
My preferred time to rise is usually between 5 and 6:30,
While the quiet and the solitude are still the ones in charge.

I brush teeth and wash face before grabbing a cup of coffee                                                                                                 
And my favorite Holy Book, never concerned with something                                                                                        
To cook. After I rise and read from the book that makes me wise,                                                                 
I try to recall and rehearse my dreams of the lightless night with little                                                          

To no success. Oh, there are nights when sleep is really breeze, but  Sometimes My sleep doesn't come lying still and undisturbed in peaceful Havens of the deep. Moreover, regardless whether my sleep was divine        Or not, I love when the morning comes, when my peace is sweetest.

For me, the best thing in the morning is waking up and realizing I have been given another day:) This is a fun one, Curtis.
