MORNING RESOLUTION

MORNING RESOLUTION

Lost in the moment of a memory,

Thousands of miles away on a distant shore,

She dreams of her very own sanctuary,

Always longing for just a little bit more.

She lies curled up in comforts of her bed,

Life’s journey has taken her to places she didn’t want to go,

Today’s a new day so it’s been said,

So much of a world that she desperately wants to know.

As the sun begins to peer through her window,

One foot at a time takes its place upon the hardwood floor,

She adjusts the shower head as the water begins to flow,

Like a soft rain through her hair she dreams a little more.

The arousing aroma of coffee permeates the air,

The morning news is her soundtrack to start the day,

Standing at the kitchen counter with mug in hand and a blank stare,

She believes there’s a change in this routine on the way.

Loneliness has been her best friend for entirely too long,

She knows that beyond her door is a fresh start,

To a life that’s gone entirely wrong,

No longer will she look skin deep, it’s now a matter of the heart.

So as she contemplates the matters of the day,

She realizes that awaking to memories of days gone by,

Is not how she wants to live, not that way.

It’s time for her to spread her wings and begin to fly.

Today is the day for a fresh start,

No longer skin deep… it’s now the matters of the heart.
