Rise and Shine

She never thought

that mornings can be so curtly

never occurred to her

that day light can be this heavy.

In day light she meets her head

and it nags on to be fulfilled

as though there is no other day

but yet there is much ahead.

If she pays this day a due

the ribbon on her soul

will with ease undo,

knowing that in her sleep

she can swim, dream and weep

but when the day light hits again

there will be eyes, ears and minds

all demanding a different scheme.
