The rain the previous night,

The wind that came with it,

The soft, fresh air this morning,

The rustling leaves,

The sunrise,

The chirping birds,

My early morning meditation, punctuated by some sips of water,

My time at the loo,

The brushing of my teeth,

All these I experience alone,

In perfect peace.

The status updates can be disturbing,

The DMs can be annoying,

The calls can be distracting,

Just give me my mornings

In perfect peace.

These hours are a gift,

I cherish them more than anything and anyone.

Just give me my mornings.

In perfect peace.
