Early Morning Thoughts: Hour 1 6am September 2, 2023

Waking up, coffee in hand,

the sun still isn’t here,

rain clouds coat the sky in

layers of silver linings and

potential. I am exactly where

I need to be, even if I cannot

 

name this place, sipe spresso

on the veranda with my mother,

or smell wild mint crawling up

the driveways of people I love

and miss more now.
