Sitting on the patio,
        before the rise of the sun.
        I drink  from this cup,
        of early morning solitude.
         
         
        The cigarette burning between fingers,
        sends a swirling haze about my head,
        creating a crown of indifference,
        to outside influences.
        My mind is not quite awake,
        to the surrounding environment.
         
         
        I inhale the dark golden brew,
        that fills my cup.
        As my pallet savors,
        it's thin hot creamy-like texture,
         my mind gently awakens,
        to the sounds and fragrances,
        of the early morning dawn.
         
         
        Sounds of the birds,
        as they go about their daily tasks,
         seem to soothe,
        rather than annoy,
        as they call to each other,
         in winged- flight.
         
         
        This placid moment creates,
        a sense of "All's Right With The World" mood,
        laced with a gentle breeze,
        that sings it's praise to mother nature.
        As I am gently guided  through,
        this tapestry of  enlightenment,
         the morn lifts her arms,
        to welcome another day.
         
         
        I take this moment to savor,
        all of natures awakening,
        as "The Best Part Of The Day",
        unfolds her arms,
        to embrace me.
