once, on an early morning…
“The longest way must have its close – the gloomiest night will wear on to a morning.”
― Uncle Tom’s Cabin

I woke up before 6 am only once, and wrote this:
—
the moon is a half slice in
the sky
the trees are hidden
in the half twilight
the creatures stir
and the race begins

are you a morning person?

I go in spurts. Time where I am up at 5 a.m. and others where I can’t get out til I am at the last minute that allows me to still arrive at work on time. Your poem is beautiful.
I am trying very hard to wake up early in the morning so I don’t have to rush, but so far failing with flying colours!
It’ll happen when you least expect it. ☺
I’m normally a morning person, but once I get off work at midnight or 1am….not so much😊
I envy you being a morning person, I have tried to will myself to be a morning person, but my body’s clock is not happy about that!
Some people are truly night owls! I don’t think you can force your natural biology to change.
Morning is the time when I own myself. After that, people start borrowing parts. Repaid parts never resemble the originals I loaned. People don’t take care of borrowed things.
WHOA! this actually motivated me to get up early, to own myself. Beautiful, thanks!
Oh man, I have to get up at 5 am multiple times a week for work…I think I’ll be putting a stop to that nonsense soon. I used to consider myself a morning person, but now I’m old and the parts don’t work as well as they once did.
5 AM! oh my !!! haha, yes, I have notices the aging doesn’t help!
THIS! So true! I feel that i start to own the mornings myself in I get up early, plus it saves me having to rush things later. 🙂
One day, I will wake up early, everyday hah!
I’ve been a morning person all my life, but I’m also a very light sleeper. Since turning 35 and becoming a parent, I’ve had an increasingly difficult time sleeping through the night, often waking up 2 – 4 times. What I hate most is when I wake up shortly before my alarm is set to go off. That’s the worst!
I will tell you how waking up before the alarm feel when it happens lol! I have had trouble with the quality of my asleep as well, it’s very tricky business!
I’ve always been up before sunrise… not for the worms but for the sunrise maybe. 🙂 I’m obsessed with the sky and my brain works best at that hour.
