When early enough


Up early to take the daughter and French student to school.  I resist the urge to go back to bed.  I listen to the cardinal.  He matches the kitchen.  Different thoughts arise when I am up with the sun.

When
Early enough
I can
Climb out of bed
With the sun
And the cardinal
Sings me just awake enough
Before the anxious thoughts
Take hold.
Then
Only then
I write those first thoughts down
Sometimes
I even write them up
Lift them skyward
In homage to the sun
Revere all that is already here
Like now
Truly
It is early enough
I am enough awake
The cardinal sings me up
With the sun.
