My thoughts wake up way before I do
I have often wondered why they never sleep
There isn’t a time, if I am conscious
that thoughts are not racing,
forming, zooming or creating
in my mind
5:30 a.m. I wake with the alarm
already my mind plans my outfit
stumbling into the kitchen
to make my latte;
I think of the sun and is it awake yet
like my mind?
There it is just above the horizon
I’m shocked because it seems to never sleep
It doesn’t sleep does it?
Then I think, how cool is that
The sun never sleeps
Somehow that brings peace to my mind
Knowing that while it is absent from me
It is present with you
When it is absent from you
It is present with me
It is 6:30 a.m., I’m dressed and shooting photos
My mind is still as I gaze at you Sun
You are such a huge part of my life
I thank God for you today
