While You Slumber

by CJ Maleney   Apr 17, 2017


While you sleep you miss the sunrise.

It was spectacular.!

Hazy orange ball rising above the pennines to the east. So bright I could not look at it directly.

Splintering the listless clouds, waking the flowers. To watch them slowly open stretching their petals as I do my limbs.

To be awake at such times is often a curse.
Today it was a gift.

Oh the things you miss while you slumber

    The honesty in this piece is heart-warming. You were looking at the dawn of the day and wrote this while sitting...pen in hand...the picture of that moment in a poet's life.

    You really throw a beautiful light on these little things
    and the positive side of not being able to sleep.
    Awesome !
