Morning Mirror


Red shoe, blue shoe – sometimes my mornings are just like that
White sock, green sock – rushing to find car keys
Blue shoe, black shoe – once it seemed a good idea to buy the same shoe in different colors

Choices are insurmountable before sunrise – for me
The mundane is lost in impossibilities
The impossibilities turn to laughter when I check out my outfit in the light of midmorning break
“Who dressed you this morning?” is the common question
As my carpenter co-workers gently tuck a tag in my shirt
Or smile because the entire shirt is on backwards
While I mutter that it simply is not my fault

Mornings were invented to be the foreplay of my day
They were not intended to be a serious prelude to what lies ahead
Mornings were meant to be savored
With a book
A latte’
Pillows propped up against the headboard

Mornings were intended to be cuddle time
They were not intended for rush hour or deadlines
Mornings really have one agenda
Wake up
Look to the sky
And savor what lies ahead

In bed
With a latte’
And a book

--

And maybe a man

I sat here for 10 minutes, socks in hand, staring into space -- it's morning in my life!

Thank you for reading and smiling (maybe).

And yes, Dark, maybe -- laughs -- sometimes you men you become somekind of scarey morning cheerleaders or something!

Alison...

Wunderbar!

I could relate to this whole poem...
even if I had to dig into the archives
of my remember...

Yup.

This suited me very well.

And as I now look back on it all? Particular days were a blast...

in all circumstances!

Thanks for the leap!

I love your bubbly personality and it comes shining through your adorable writes!

Yeppers! Starting my day off in bed with a latte and a book, sounds like heaven to me! ~ and perhaps a man thrown in for good measure!  

Love to you, Sweetie Pie!

I enjoyed it. I go to work at 8am. I get up at 5am. It's how I am able to relax, take my time doing what I have to do and enjoy doing some fun things before I go to work. But I can also appreciate how rush works against sense, relaxation and doing anything well. De Anna

Sometimes I think you are a "kindred spirit".  I love the gentle beauty that you bring to PiP - and I love when you make me feel all warm inside from your friendship.

You are a special Lady.

I think we should make it so
make it a law
make it mandatory

Morning latte time with a book - and maybe a man.
