My alarm goes off, ending the silence of the night.

The sheets feel warm, hugging me just right.

The shower squeaks as I turn it to hot. 

The moon is still out, like a big white dot.

I shiver as my damp hair touches my neck.

I get goosebumps as I walk out onto my deck.


The steady dripping of the coffee sends me into a trance.

The breeze feels too cold, but I decide to give it a chance.

The stars barely holding on, not wanting to say goodbye.

Slowly the sun appears, a bright penny lighting up the sky.

It greets my skin like a big warm hug.

My blood is softened; it makes me want more, like a drug.


The birds begin to chirp and sing.

The world wakes up excited for what the day will bring.

The owls stop hooting and the moon has veiled.

A new day has begun for the rooster has wailed.


The author's comments:

This poem was inspired by a calm summer morning that I had woken up early to see the sunrise. I wanted to capture the calmness and the quietness of the sunrise.
