rise and shine

i've always preferred the morning over the night.
it's the quiet that i like, the silence
before the world begins to wake up,
stretching its arms,
rubbing its eyes, squinting and
wanting so badly for there to be more
rest, more of that calm... just a little more of that
sleep we only got a taste of.
it's this pocket of time
when the madness in our lives have slowed down
and everybody is just a tiny bit calmer,
less restless, relieved and
satiated (a small bit) from that moment o' rest.
it's that little bit of stillness that i enjoy before everybody
and everything
turns mad with living again.

  1. Oh god, that sounds wonderful. But I cannot for the life of me get up early. Are you naturally an early bird? Or have you trained yourself to be one?

  2. Hi Lyds! I wake up early usually naturally. I think part of the reason why is because I sleep early (generally). I admit, though, getting out of bed isn't so easy. For the most part, I'm happy I made the decision to wake up early after I've had my morning coffee. Haha.
