In the morning

before the sun comes up

there is that special time

when the earth is quiet and thinking

about what it will do today

 

will it show us rain or sun

or a cover of clouds

will it give us an overcast mood

or will it glisten with sunshine

 

and will it give us luck or

something to work around

a challenge or a bet

 

we await the day

in anticipation

not knowing

what will be coming next

 

the prospects are unlimited

the expectation

the joy of living.
