    • Very excited and very grateful. My son Michael will be coming back to American soil in about 12 days I want to thank all of you for your prayers and well wishes and strength.

    Late Awake
    As I opened my eyes
    The room bathed in bright light,
    Forcing my brain
    To come to attention much too quickly.
    The Sun
    Must have jumped hurdles
    This morning,
    Sitting high on her perch
    Grinning,
    Her skirts all around her.
    She was quite pleased
    With herself today.
    I am destined to chase after her.
    The only witnesses,
    The trees
    Who whispered snide remarks to each other
    As I hurried off to work.
    I hate to start the day this way!

    Thanks so much for commenting, glad you could stop by. mlea

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
