Sunrise
sunrise
there’s something about watching the sun rise,
watching as it sleepily seeps in through my window, onto my desk,
watching as it stumbles over my words.
i believe that every person, at some point in their lifetime,
should stay up to watch the sun rise.
there’s something about watching the sun rise,
and knowing the days ahead bring happiness
that gives you hope, and makes butterflies flitter in your stomach.
but the best thing about sunrises is
you can find them in people.
you can see them in the glimmer of an eye,
or the shimmer of a smile.
you can hear them in an early morning groan,
or as they bumble out in mumbles
about coffee and the earliness of the hour.
smell them in deep breaths of cool air,
as morning reaches the trees.
taste them on smiling lips.
feel their warmth spread laughter
through your whole body,
and bring a smile to your face.
there’s just something
about watching the sun rise,
that makes everything feel right.
