Awake early on Wednesday morning
tossing and turning in bed
no place for sleep
out of bed at 5:30
awake at 4:00
eyes getting heavy at 6:29
the sun rises without notice
the birds sing and now are quiet
stillness of the air
surrounds me
punctuated sounds
returning to silence
sitting on bed
looking left and then right
slowly stretching
trying to welcome the day
while slowly awakening
my body
stretch
elusive sleep will
not be with me today
