Break Of Day
My alarm goes off, ending the silence of the night.
The sheets feel warm, hugging me just right.
The shower squeaks as I turn it to hot.
The moon is still out, like a big white dot.
I shiver as my damp hair touches my neck.
I get goosebumps as I walk out onto my deck.
The steady dripping of the coffee sends me into a trance.
The breeze feels too cold, but I decide to give it a chance.
The stars barely holding on, not wanting to say goodbye.
Slowly the sun appears, a bright penny lighting up the sky.
It greets my skin like a big warm hug.
My blood is softened; it makes me want more, like a drug.
The birds begin to chirp and sing.
The world wakes up excited for what the day will bring.
The owls stop hooting and the moon has veiled.
A new day has begun for the rooster has wailed.

This poem was inspired by a calm summer morning that I had woken up early to see the sunrise. I wanted to capture the calmness and the quietness of the sunrise.
