Morning Glories

I try to prep myself with the glory of the day

The sun I dare to look in the eye each morning

Just a tease of pink and blazing orange

Things move too fast now 

I want to take each step one by one 

Sweep off the dust 

And maybe take a break in the middle 

But I’m still in awe of so much 

How I got up and didn’t topple over 

Even with a backpack slung over my shoulder 

Left heavy

I can’t believe I’ve been walking for all these years 

I decide to take the longer walk outside 

Just enough for fresh air 

Without too much cold
