Morning arrives without invitation Crisp light pierce's the gap in the curtain Blinding like a floodlight, targeting and harsh. Songs of birds filter through sickeningly sweet It is to pure, the day has yet to be tainted With unnatural urgency and false anxiety's. They remain unaware of this bliss, sleeping As I should be, awake with uncertainty's quiz I bare witness to this blank page, untouched. Waiting patiently for today's inscription.
