Poem: Before Anyone is Up
Strive for calm
early in the morning
before anyone is awake.
Salute the sun
breathe deep of the air
tinged with dew
and cool winds.
Nightingale goes to sleep
owl settles in its nest
as the bluebird and robin
hunt for breakfast.
Time for the first
cup of coffee
while the day's first light
peeks over the horizon.
The day's chaos
has not started yet
but this moment
this minute
is the epitome of peace.
