Early Riser

early morning, house is silent and the light is gray

I drink my coffee and

think about

what I have to do today

Let the past drip down the shower drain

let the coffee percolate

the ghosts of all your dreams away

early riser, don't be sad

these are the moments

the crystal moments

that you always wish you had

the future starts each day when you arise

so make the best

the very best

of each day

you are

alive
