sun rise

i'm awake. the vicodin itch is wearing off, or
perhaps
i have become numb.

the sky is getting
lighter and
i guess
the sun is rising
to my east
somewhere
because my horizon is this
lovely warm color of
a freshly plucked peach and
ever so slowly this
is becoming the sky
that i can see
and it is a happy shade of
nectarine
fading into
lavender
fading into the
blue
sky of what today
might become.

this is a calm and lucid
presence of being that
i can't remember having felt for
quite some time now.

i feel
serene and
calm and
everything i perceive to be
ethereal and
glowing
with the promise of
better days.

good things.
beautiful things.

being present in the moment at present
nothing is more important or beautiful than
this
is
right now.

good morning,
blue-bird.
good morning
to this
crisp bright air that is filling my lungs
with
oxygen and
hope
and promises of better days.
good morning.
