Waking up to a quiet house, and being able to spend
A few minutes in silent contemplation before the ubiquitous sense of urgency descends
Is a blessing that is incredibly hard to find
A commentary of a long list of tasks runs through my mind
When I wake up, from food preparation and work responsibilities
If I get a few moments to myself the background chatter does cease
After that I feel more grounded and efficient as I start
My day, with a sharp mind and a contented heart..

Unfortunately such mornings seem to be rare
Chronically sleep-deprived, well I do not fare
In finding moments of solitude when I wake up late
It is a mad rush to get the whole family out of the gate
There is no quietude as we scramble to complete
Our morning routines, it seems an impossible feat
To get everything in order, there is no time to take a breath deep
Punctuality at school and work is the most important promise to keep
*
What a vicious cycle I seem to fall into every day
If only I could carve out a few minutes in a consistent way
To reflect quietly or meditate in the morning, I would be
A better version of myself- I should make this a priority..
Passion...unbridled
