Morning has broken
The morning birds tweet their joyous chirps
Care free like a feather in flight
In no hurry to be at a certain place
At a certain time
Where the present moment
Is as happy as the next
Is as happy as the next
Where the past has no bearing on the future
Hence time is stagnant
Hence there is none.

I'm finally awake
From the last time I closed my eyes
It's in the afternoon
And the sun is brutal
Cruelly burning itself
And everything under the wilted sky
The morning was here
And I missed it
Sacrificed to my slumber
But it doesn't matter
Because it is morning in the afternoon
In the evening
And at night
