FIRST THOUGHTS IN THE MORNING

LISTEN AS YOU READ : https://soundcloud.com/ilana-rhymes/first-thoughts-in-the-morning

Those first thoughts in the morning 

At the freshest that you’ve ever been

They’re special. 

There’s something to them. 

When closed eyes and deep snoring 

Are nothing but a distant sin.  

That clarity is rare

Disencumbered, unique. 

They’re conjured in an instant

In the manner that an infant 

Blows out the candles from years past. 

Effervescent is the moment

One where we go from somnolent

To sun, discarding shadows from night last.
