one bird sings
a musical alarm goes off
the first leaf flutters
someone’s eye opens
a lizard stretches a cold leg
I yawn and reach for the sky
a rising sun heats the blood
my coffee is ready
as the wind stirs and trees
start their morning gossip
my newspaper crackles
turning pages of the world
birds arrive and wing away
air traffic is picking up
a car burns down the road
trying to not be late for work
we may all awaken the same
but there is a luxury where dogs
and humans break the mold
two species paired in privilege
take the opportunity
to start the day all over again
naptime
