When I rise early, early in the morning
Before the alarm clock has given a warning.
I see that it is very dark and peacefully silent.
I have a special feeling, the opposite of violent.
There are no sirens wailing in the far distance.
No flashing cherry red lights giving assistance.
The television screen is a delightful color of black.
No disturbing news; this is one thing I love to lack.
I am free to hear comforting words in my head.
Thankful for a day with only joyful tears to shed.
There is a reverence that I feel from nothing.
The richest gift of all, the peace I am possessing.
Theresa Ann Moore
