First Thing

first thing

in the morning
I have my chance
to grab the day
and be ready
mind and spirit
body and soul

what choice
do I make first thing
as the sun rises
and I feed the cats and
I think on
the one hundred things
I want to do with a ‘free’ moment
like this
this morning

why isn’t every moment free-
what makes it free
other than my will
and how I do a task
and how I greet the day
that greets me?

in the morning
I have my chance
to say good bye
to yesterday’s follies
to bring this dawn
to birth with my
own intent
change night to day
change the many
scattered moments
to one
strong
willed
prayer
to
day
