This Morning

 

This morning, waking up and preparing to do
 
what I do each day, a bowl of cereal before me
 
and the caffeine of coffee to jolt me awake,
 
this slow drink slowly drunk to keep me here,
 
leisurely enjoying the quiet of the morning
 
amidst the litany of bad news broadcast,
 
the robins are speaking outside my window,
 
calling out to each other and responding back,
 
a conversation overheard in my eavesdropping,
 
hearing them, brought into their dialogue to welcome
 
a new day, this new day renewed renewing me,
 
the robins and I welcoming the morning sun
 
arising on us all, preparing to do what we do each day.
