So, it’s now Tuesday
Outside the window; darkness
Yet I must arise

Sunday Morning
the sun rises
i resist waking
my warm bed
There are times I hate waking up
Dawn’s aggressive touch
Forcing me up from my sleep
Unwelcome, awake
My mind fights me
Awake
Not my desired state
Yet here I am
Fighting my own mind
What do I gain
When I win?
This New Day
Another morning
A fresh start, awakening
Awake and alive
Awake Too Early
My relentless mind
In perpetual motion
Sleeping’s a challenge
Awake against my will
Dreaming of dreaming
Longing for slumber
The machinery of my mind
Psychological cogs churn and spin
Whirring hum of my soul
I’m not asleep
Night fell long ago
Yet sleep is avoiding me
I hear the highway
Oh sleep, I’ve requested your presence some time ago. Sigh…
Oh well, at least I can sleep in tomorrow.
So, I’m Awake
Yeah, well, I’m awake
Against my better judgement
Sleep’s power is strong
A Morning Meditation
Forcing wakefulness
I resist vigorously
Weariness grinds
I pull my dust together
And rise
Children’s Laughter
This sound
Laughing children
Always a delightful way
To awaken
