As the light plays tag across the morning dew
I look out the window and to the day’s possibilities
Now, if I can get from here to there
Deep breath, it’s not my fear that holds me
Not the wounds of yesterday
Thoughts going deep into my procrastination
Safe inside so that I can only imagine the breeze
Such an easy place to get what I want to attain
tell myself to get up, to go out the door
If I don’t, there will be no one else to blame
The sun meanders across the sky
No care if I go off to wander
The clock ticks, every moment chimes
I know! I know, it’s up to me
Either way I’ll lose my time
Take my hand, pull it across the water
Make a ripple, claim it
I can hear the drip of my infatuation
The kitchen beckons
One more cup of coffee

One more cup of coffee…. I understand the procrastinations. How is can be riding on a person’s back to delay things you want to do and accomplish.
Thank you Fia. Have a great day this day!

Sometimes the pause takes longer than we expect.
That is true some mornings. Thanks Willow, hope you have a wonderful Labor Day weekend.

There’s a relatable tug-of-war here between wanting to move forward and finding every comfortable excuse to stay exactly where you are, with the sun and clock quietly reminding the speaker that time isn’t waiting. The last “One more cup of coffee” is the perfect little surrender—it undercuts all that determination with the wonderfully human truth that sometimes the first step is just another damn cup of coffee.
Thank you Mr. Case. I think I’ll have another now! Have yourself a wonderful day.
