That Special Time.

Goldfinch60



Each day I arise early

And have that special time of mine.

I go downstairs,

Put on the radio and listen,

Listen to music.

I sit at my computer,

Read poems from others.

Then I write,

Write the words from within.

The words that come to me,

Come to me from many places.

It could be from love,

The love I have for my lady,

The love I have for life,

Or even the love for all.

Those words may be from other places.

The things I have seen,

Both sad and happy,

Funny and miserable.

But this time in the morning,

Is mine,

And always has been.

So each day I rise early

And have that special time of mine.

    That's just the best! Pristine sounds of music in the backdrop and words vocalising in the foreground. Philip Glass brought me back even to "Out of Africa" wherein Meryl Streep would read her lines while the music played. Meditation at its best, this. Thanks Andy!

          Andy, I think you have cracked it.
          Everything there that you advise
          Should be hung on my wall and backlit.

          I go to bed at irregular hours (late as 1.30) and wake up irregularly (6am – 9.30).

          • Goldfinch60

            I have always got up early throughout my life, even when I was working Dave.

            Good write, Andy.
            Your discipline is enviable. I am a scatter-brain no discipline at all.

              Thank you Jerry, if we were all the same it would be a very boring world.

              Definitely be back to check the tune with your wonderful spirit and words!
              Always appreciated my friend

                Thankyou Dan. I enjoy listening to Philip Glass's music.

                Sounds just fine Andy. I must admit that I too, listen to music as I compose. "Inspiration for free," I call it. Of course, "Love" plays a big part of
                my life as well. A very relatable piece of poetry. Thank you. - Phil A.

                  Thankyou Phil, it certainly sounds as though we have a similar style o life in this way, that's great to know.
