MORNING REVELATION

She raises her head from the cloudlike comfort of her pillow. One foot and then the other feel the fibers of the cool carpet beneath them. Shuffling in a daze of awakening slumber she moves from room to room. The light pierces through the darkness as she slides the door open and steps outside. Crisp and cool in the morning air she senses everything around her. Birds sing their joyful tune while motors rumble preparing for the day’s beginning. In the distance a crow lets out its morning wail. Tall evergreens stand still, calm, and dark not yet touched by the sun’s rays. Pale blue sky gives way for the rising of the sun. Breathe deeply in, exhale and feel peace. A moment of clarity is upon her.
