NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 29

#posts #poetryAstonishing
Waking up first, listening to
your breaths like small waves
before the day floods in
before we are swept along
by waves of work, cleaning
our living spaces, returning
our library books, exploring and
recycling, there is this one
still moment where nothing
moves, not even the clock.
I lie in bed, surrounded by
soft sheets, watching your
eyes gently flicker as you travel
in unknown dimensions. As I
slowly remember the day and year,
birds welcome in another morning.
A serenade to the waking world.
"Rouse yourselves! Look!" they chirp,
"Look! How wonderful it is!
to be on this planet!
breathing this air! Look!"
Eventually, you and me and
the day all rise up, and begin.
