“new morning routines”
I was never a morning person. I would rather snuggle under blankets and steal
a few more minutes of sleep. The
annoying alarm beeping, telling me it’s time to get up – the day lays ahead and
there are things to do. Yet in time I
have been able to muster up enough energy to exercise when the sun is low and
the air is cool. A year ago this would
have seem like a futile goal, yet here I exercising in the early light. When all is done I get ready for work –
shower, dress, eat breakfast, even read a poem or two. Then I turn my attention to my smartphone
and looked for messages from you. Six
months ago my phone would have been dead silent, but not since you came into my
life like a fresh breeze. Now every
morning I look forward to the rising sun and your “good mornings”.
as the sun rises
living creatures come
to life
new journeys begin

DeleteWonderful that you have someone in your life who helps you enjoy the start of a new day. Your haibun is full of happiness with the turns in life. And I love the haiku! Nice to see you this morning over my cuppa joe -- love meeting with folks at the dVerse bar! :)

DeleteMaybe this morning exercise and the new person in your life is part of the same change... love it, and yes we need our mornings... (I am actually more a morning person, than a night owl)...
