She, fades in to the concreteness of reality and,
Awakes in the early bird singing part of the day, lying
Motionless on her hay. Her arms and legs and head feel heavy, as if they are held down with bricks. Her large green eyes are open wide as
She takes in the silence for only but a moment.
Soon her thoughts begin to pop in… make sure and remember to finish that… oh ya pay that bill… I need to call mom about that… like popcorn in her head, they over take the morning stillness in her mind.
Before the popcorn of the day threatens to invade
Completely, she pulls her led arm to the night stand
Next to her bed. She takes hold of her weapons of chose, her Journal, pen
And, chapter three of Philippians.
Pressing on, despite the gravity plagued body, she writes her to do
List of the day: organize closet, get oil in car changed. Next, some notes of reminder: buy cat food, pay rent, have lunch with Sarah. She doesn’t forget to write her hopes for a new car, and a trip to the beach when spring comes.
Lastly, there is a wrap up of prayer.
She lays aside her pen and pauses for a few more
Moments of calm and quiet. She gazes out the window,
Happy to have the sun with her. She takes in a
Deep breath, and is now armed and ready for this new day.
