WAKE UP YOU LAZY LOUTS!

BREAKFAST IS ON THE COUNTER, AND COFFEE’S IN THE POT!

now for a bit of a softer sort.

On Rising

Oh dream of things from memory and life
things that set free the soul from strife
To open the heart and fill it with joy bright
as dawn fills the eyes with a pearled light

The whisper of the morning breeze so soft
has the power a sad heart to gently loft
Breathe out a sweet breath of wondrous life
sound as pure as a lingering note of a fife

Alive to everything about as if all were new
each moment filled with possibilities to do
Embrace the day and take all it holds as yours
for each is just another of life’s many doors
