Early Morning

Up again
Mind churning
Faster than
The world is turning

Child cries
Cuddle close
Where child lies
While night-time flows
(away)

Snoring sounds
Filter in
All around
A softened din
(of sleep)

But I'm awake
The world a weight--
Oh, for God's sake,
It's just to late
(to sleep again).

  1. I love those mornings when my head is buzzing with fresh ideas. Unfortunately, I usually lose them before coffee.

  3. I love the condensed approach of this one! It feels like raw observation.
