Sunrise

Another day I find myself

Beckoning the sun to rise

Close my eyes and soak in the warmth

Deep breaths calm my soul

Every part of me braces for the tide

Fire burns behind my closed eyelids

Gentle breeze plays with my hair

Headache fades and my mind clears

Imagine myself flying, free 

Journal resting open in my lap

Keeping my thoughts bound  

Letters on a page 

Memories and ideas immortalized 

Never forgotten even after I’m gone 

Open my eyes 

Peace washes over me 

Quiet waves lap the shore

Rise and fall like heart beats

Seaweed tickles my toes 

Today 

Unknown 

Views may change 

Worlds may collide

Xenacious

Yet in this moment 

Zeal embraces me.
