It is getting easier to rise
with the sun these days.
The one that was such a
ball of fire in June has
become quite the slug-a-bed now
in mid August
By October I’ll be getting up
in the dark.
It’s like that every year,
until April when the sun
again out paces my need
for morning rest.
Long may it continue
this game of bedtimes
and awakenings’
Long, too, may the sun-illumined
new day be filled with
new challenge,
new joys new glimpses of
heaven, new love for others, and.
hope for the earth.
