Five in the Morning, April 13, 2o15

Well, if you have kept up with me, you know I have these Heap Trip attacks every now and then (mostly NOW than then) and I don't get much work down on my blogs. I turn into a blob of emotional instability, which sometimes can be a bit scary to me and my friends. But no, worries. My friends seem to understand that every now and then Jekyll's gotta let the Hyde guy take charge. I bounce back pretty fast. THIS time I even got a bit of a poem out of it. See? Even the worst of times can get you something.

Five in the Morning
 
Five in the morning and I'm not yet
feeling the need to sleep. But that’s okay.
It's been a weird night.  Full of black things.
You think everything is going along alright
and then all of a sudden they're not.
Early morning has its ways with you.
Those ways aren't always kind, congenial ways . . .
But you know how to ride it out, shake it off.
Soon the darkest morning will dry itself out,
the sun will smile up a dawn full of birds . . .
happy, contented  birds that have no reason
to ever sing out of tune. And we all know
a tune must never be unpleasant.
