I'm up before the sun
up before everyone
I sit in the stillness
the morning's chillness
then I quiet my mind

like an energetic child
my mind is running wild
I bring it back to center
a calmness state to enter
and inner peace to find

Some use a mantra phrase
others at a dot they gaze
some invoke a Holy Being
for me it's you I'm seeing
and my world responds in kind
