In the Mornings
When I awake in the mornings, it’s always dark outside
But there’s a light in my head, my guide, bona fide
When I awake in the mornings, it’s as quiet as it gets
Just an occasional car passing and the symphony of insects
When I awake in the mornings, out of a dream emerged
Teetering on the edge where reality and visions converge
When I awake in the mornings, I look at the time
It’s three or four a.m. and all I can think of are rhymes
When I awake in the mornings, I’m glad to be alive
Safely across the void again, how many survived?
When I awake in the mornings, and I look out at the night
Everything’s dark blues and greens bathed in orange streetlights
When I awake in the mornings, I wish it would never end
I love the tranquility as the daylight descends
