I was up early this morning.
Early enough to greet the sun as she began the day.
And to acknowledge the almost full moon as it gave up it radiance to the morning.
I was up early this morning.
Early enough to drink in the morning’s coolness.
And to take deep breathes.
Slowly.
One after another.
Pulling the day
And its promise
Into me.
Filling me.
Finding its way into the fabric of my being.
At least for the moment.
With the hope it won’t be forgotten
AmidstĀ the distractions
And concerns of the day.
I was up early this morning.
