i sit in the darkness in the early morning, quiet and still, a good way to start my day

but my day picks up a few notches as light begins to creep into the room

the darkness soothes a tired mind that often gets to tight, and i unwind and let the minute details drift away

the canvas of a simple life gets wiped clean everyday

and i begin another journey that the light brings to my door

the magic carpet awaits me as i step into the world, i have long since stopped trying to direct it and enjoy watching it unfold

i often sit in the darkness………………….but i live in the light
