I sit here At 5:33 in the morning For the past 3 nights I haven't been able to sleep This morning, I decided to go sit Outside And I’m glad I did The world is so quiet at this time The sky is a blueish purple But where the sun touches the sky It’s a blueish pink The crisp morning air bites at my skin I hear more bird calls and songs Than I’ve ever heard at once They chirp They sing They yell They cry They surround me Not to mention The quiet crickets that cheer them on It feels like I entered a world that was not entirely mine As the world brightens From a soft hue I close my eyes And let it consume me For even a moment A.J Busse
