It takes a little longer
for the light to find it’s way.
Time still hasn’t changed.
Cool breeze sneaks through
a crack in the window.
You might find comfort.
You may still feel weary.
Every morning you do
what you have to do.
It is not easier, even if
the light is softer.
Whether you’ve paid
penance for the day before,
there is always something
waiting outside your door.
