Waking

My sun rises

Before the sun itself

I shimmer

Through the house

Sparkling

Filled with hope

And dreams

And laughter

Itching

To work wonders

On the new world

Of today

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).
