Hadn’t slept for the whole night

and now the sky already bright...

I hear the vibrant chirping of birds

Welcoming the coming of a new day. 

Another day starting... the earth rejoices

Bringing the seeds of life to nurture humanity

Alone, I sit here in silence

Listening to the stream of time ticking away. 

Its constant rhythm leads me into a deep slumber.

Allowing me to see dreams unfold in an ethereal world.
