The Morning Paper

Terrifying night
Longing for some real comfort
Lost in my own mind.

Beautiful morning
Sun rise for a perfect day
Now let's start living.

The mug celebrates
the coffee. My eyes enjoy
This familiar scene.

I sip the sunlight.
It spills on my hands and face:
Perfect accident.

I wish i could stay
Wrapped up in blankets for life
Hugging a giant.

But when the time comes
For the day to get started,
The clock starts to tick.

And when the time comes
For the day to get started,
I look less like me.

Where do i wind up
Between the hours of dawn-dusk?
Why does this happen?

Because the sun brings
Only what we can't admit:
Tomorrow is here.
