Sleep-walking

Sleep-walking
Through another day
Weariness drops into
Dry bones like rain
Eyes mist at the sight
Of old friends making
Music tug at my heart
The clock ticks through
Evening gasping for
Breath undone by the
Speed of life’s descent
Into restless sleep
And premature birth
Of tomorrow
I’ve missed posting for a few days, which feels like forever. Monday was all about seeing my cardiologist, and getting the OK to keep doing what I’m already doing to live with A-fib (atrial fibrillation). Yesterday I visited with two friends before enjoying a quiet, sleepy afternoon at home.
The days are getting longer on the outside, with lots of early morning birdsong. This makes it more pleasant, but not easier to roll out of bed in the mornings. Mother’s Day was quiet, unseasonably cold and rainy. I propose we schedule another Mother’s Day to be celebrated on the first sunny Sunday from today!
Now I’m off to work on that second Longwood Gardens Photo post.
Cheers!

Telling the Truth 
I’m up at the crack of dawn every day, not the nicest in winter but our winters pretty mild, I enjoy the peace and quiet of the early morn, I do miss the Northern Beaches though, I used to have the birds. kookaburras to greet me here in the city nothing 😦

Oh….Nature can make a huge difference when you’re not in the city! Early morning is my favorite time of day–especially now that the birds are in full chorus announcing their territory! Evening is beautiful, though we’re now getting into lots of hot afternoons and pop-up rainstorms. And don’t get me started on beaches. I’d live on one if I could. 🙂
