waking before the sun
rises above me spinning
as I am standing still
is the feeling I get
looking to the pre-dawn sky
three star belt watched since
childhood same street same yard
didn't notice as much then
didn't appreciate enough
waking before the sun
reaches where work calls
answer all but two days a week
toss up between sleeping in to rest
and getting up early without alarm
and drive east to the sunrise
stopping before the bridge
taking the walk
planting myself in the sand
only staying until the sun
fully emerges from a distance
out over the calm ocean sway...
