the best part of the day
your eyes aren't open yet
                         [but you're awake]
you are content
                         well rested
                         peaceful still

the three minutes before last nights
          regrets come falling into view
before you open your eyes
          & the harsh sun, shines light
          on all of your mistakes

[ashamed]
time to shower
                         to wash away the sins
how glorious those first moments were

peaceful.
