Good morning arrives not all at once but in small, gentle moments after waking up. The body is slow, the mind still drifting between dreams and day. I feel sluggish when I wake up but only gets better later on. This poem is inspired by that feeling of becoming awake, one breath, one thought at a time. --- Aqua Simple Banner 1.png

Good Morning

My eyes open to the sun's light, The room still holding onto night. The clock ticks low, the air feels new, A day begins without a cue. The bed feels warm, the floor feels cold, My food pillow, I want to hold. I stretch, I yawn, I sit upright, Still half asleep, still not quite right. Thoughts drift slow, then start to form, This day seems calm, no chaos like a storm. Dreams slip out without a sound, As morning settles all around. Outside hums a distant tone, A world awake beyond my own. Birds announce the break of day, Reminding me I’m on my way. I breathe in deep, I breathe out long, Finding where I now belong. No rush yet, no need to run, Just quiet time before it’s done. Good morning said, I softly heard, Oh wait, that's a tweet from a bird. With steady steps and open sight, I stand up for morning to end the night. --- Aqua Simple Banner 1.png
