The freshness of
the early daybreak
with open windows,
sunbeams in
A blackbird singing
through the curtains
a whole new
morning to begin
This courtyard is
a place of mercy,
an island in a
world of stone
You wake up in
a new beginning
contentness
rising from the bone
So get up, step
into the garden to
feel this newness
in your pores
You've come from far
into this moment
here to enjoy
this time is yours
