Dawn.
Dim light flickers.
Sleep is interrupted yet again.
Rain floods pavement craving sunlight.
It is another soggy day of insomnia,
forgotten memories and
labored letting go.
Stir.
Heart and mind,
though weary, re-commit.
Determined to be of use, restless
hand points pen to page.
Notes link to beats.
Verse finds voice.
Soul fills
song.
