A Very Epic Morning

A Very Epic Morning

Saturday morning 6:am
I’m so excited to hear the ringing
of my beloved alarm clock
I jump out of bed
eager to drink my first morning coffee
I shower, and I dress

and as I’m opening the front door to leave
a gasp of dark air takes my breath
and then with horror in my eyes
and a shaking hand holding the keys to the door
I think…where…
where… are you going girl? it's saturday
Ā 
how does one come to know what one’s future holds?
if they do not search for it
in every empty space waiting to be filled?
Ā 
so I went to my second hand dining table
I sat down on my old wooden chair
and I wrote, and I wrote, and I wrote
all the imagery and all that I hate
all that I love
and all that makes me irate
Ā 
today there is no muse
just I, the paper and the ink…
so I wrote about the Devil
who I believe to be a wimp
how he tricked me into doing many things
things I would never want to do
in my humble opinion this made him rich
Ā 
but then my pen moved slightly to the left Ā 
and I started to believe once more
in the great power of good
Ā I could hear in my head
the great violin of my own Soul
playing the music of existent dreams
Ā 
finally drowning out his voice and laughter
so now, he’s worthless
and as I pull myself back from the brink of mindless nonsense
my own pride battered like an old decaying cod
waiting to fill the bellies of the starving
It’s now 6:56 am
Ā 
time to once again get a grip on my sanity Ā Ā 
and as I reflect onto the next page
of which I truly hope to write at least a few
Ā 
maybe I'll even writeĀ  about an Angel or two.
Ā

Shirley, nearly all your work exudes positivity. I believe this comes from your lovely (probably fighting spirit)...which I admire tremendously. This work of early morning meandering thoughts is just lovely. Just lovely X
