Early

My eyes are closed
my mind alert
listening
for signs the sun
may have arrived
before me today.

Dammit.

Peeping out
from behind my lids
I find I won
again,
even though
I laid down my head
only just three hours ago.

    Shari,
    what a clever piece.  I really like your word choices, simple, but highly effective.  You nailed that 1st stanza

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Stacy. I like the first part too. :)
