The sunlight shines through the shutters
And lifted my feet out of the bed
Just in time to hear the fading chirpings of birds
I have struggled to wake up
Long after the shrills of the alarm clock
Now, I must begin my morning rituals
With a steamy cup of tea
As I ruminate over the chaos in my mind
Myriads of thoughts fighting within me to jump out
Not a day to let them slide through my fingers
Not a day to be reluctant and sluggish
The blank pages must wear these new imprints
And decorated with the images before me
To ease this immense weight that I carry inside
I must obey this morning clarion call
Today I have a plan
This new script must breathe

Beautiful poetry. In my opinion, mornings are the best part in a day.Chirping of birds, soothing daylight make the day more serene. Entire day becomes yours. You can plan and spend it the way you want.If you are an early riser, then you will agree with me.
