Unwanted thoughts, but I kept them at bay
Early morning as I opened my eyes
With dawn’s clear light, they slowly fade away
The world unveiled beneath soft painted skies
Bad dreams occupy my mind while I sleep
Lost or mislaid as soon as I awake
Mind at work so that sanity I keep
Thoughts unbidden can cause the dam to break
I cast aside the remnants of the night
As morning’s calm restores my quiet mind
In daylight’s warmth, my thoughts are made more light
With peace renewed, past worries left behind
I face the world this morning much refreshed
My mind and body both fully rested
Injurious reflections to be suppressed
To this lovely day, I’ll be invested
New morning brings a softer, brighter view
In peace I rise to greet a dawn that’s new
