Impermanence

Misty morning
reflecting inner tired.
in this new environment
sleep did not visit me
as much as I would choose.
Shake off the desire
to slumber.
A new day has arisen
a new dawning of possibilities
and curiosity and wondering
what will emerge today?

The mist hangs dense and low
on this cold autumn morning
like the heavy breath
of some imagined deity.

Feeling it’s weight in my bones.
Shake off the heaviness
shake off the desire
for things to be different.

Welcome what is.

Today - the sun is already bright
on this new morning
casting long shadows
chasing away the wisps of mist.

Yesterday’s dullness has shifted
seen off my a brand new
twenty-four hours.

A new day has arisen
a new dawning of possibilities
and curiosity and wondering
what will today bring?
