up early again

up early on a day
without work
still cold and even though
February brought higher
than normal temperatures
today it’s cold again
the sky is clear
and so is my mind
and for so long
was told the opposite
that I might in fact
be clouding it up
but truth has revealed
itself to me…

up early and out with
a true friend
and I could be her son
we are friends that work
at the same place
we talked up early
for good reason
spoke for sometime
then parted ways…

up early as the sun
warms the patio and table
moved from the porch
twenty feet away
merely pointing out the obvious
but it’s like push-ups
for no good reason
except to keep up the strength
trying to strengthen all
the aspects of my life
once again up early
for that reason as well...
