Tales of the day

It’s 5am today, I can’t hear the snores 

But I’m several deep breaths away from waking. 

My alarm won’t wake me - my body will. 

I’m used to this now, 

But that doesn’t change  

How my body feels. 

Early mourners; 

Early risers, 

It's not death, but its close. 

Like taking center stage at your funeral, 

Shedding tears as you share your own eulogy. 

He was a great man, so patient 

So…. 

So what! 

It doesn’t matter now; 

What matters now is now.
