"Morning Ritual" My eyes slowly flicker open as the Morning hues of soft light begin to streak across the sky, My Morning Ritual is set in motion as sun light pours through my bedroom windows, Just beyond the glass the blues and greens and the warm yellows stretch up and over the distant horizon, A roasted caramelly aroma of coffee gently glides into my senses, The majestic moonlight glow from the night before begins to give way for the golden radiance of the sun. The sky catches fire as its flames shoot upward spreading across the blue hues of the heavens, As the world rotates toward our celestial star, turning night into day, its golden rays begin to heat my face and I gently close my eyes and bask below its glimmering veil of orange embers and silky drips of sunshine. My eyes slowly open once again and with that my morning ritual ends.
