It’s a beautiful morning
Front door’s open
Letting in a slight breeze
Listening to the cricket serenade
As it softly plays
Enjoying the peacefulness
As I sip my coffee
A few more moments before
My world wakes up
The phone starts to ring
Email inbox continually dings
Don’t take me wrong
I’m thankful for work
But these moments alone
Rejuvenate me
In a way
It’s hard to explain
