Awakening.

Goldfinch60

I awake from the night,

Taken away from Morpheus’ arms,

The new day calls.

I gently arise from my bed,

Stand up straight.

This is a good start,

I am still in this world.

I walk downstairs,

Walk slowly but not stumbling,

That too is good,

I am mobile,

I feel good,

Feel ready to face the day ahead.

I may not be full of vim and vigour

But I am full of words,

Those words come onto this page

And as long as I can write them,

All is well in my world.

        Yes Goldfinch, great write. I agree with all here. It is wonderful to get up awake and alive and not take for granted the fact that we are able to. 🙂

              Facing another day on the planet is always a lucky day. Being able to write about it, so well, is icing on the cake. Hope all is well. - Phil A.

                Is it during the morning when most of your ideas come to you?

                • Goldfinch60

                  Many do but an idea can come to me at any time, I always carry a notebook with me to write down any ideas that come to me.

                • Gary Edward Geraci

                  Noted! I buy very few things for myself - my wife will attest to this. An exception was made however and I opened just a few minutes ago a handsome, leather bound notebook with the word "abundance" stamped on an interior fold. I have sworn to carry and use it with "vim and vigour."

                    May your words be always with you.
