  My Happy Alarm – The Dawning   Dawning light shatters my sleep Forgetting the dreams, I wanted to keep My slumber was happy with no end in sight But then came the dawning ending my night.   The shimmering light cascaded to me Waking me up from a wonderful sleep The moment is here another day has begun The dawning has brought out a glimmer of sun.   My feet came out from under the covers And looking out through my window the birdies did hover As I sat for a second, inhaled deeply, looking at them play Welcome to this dawning, and a new day.   I got ready to go outside to my desk With coffee in hand, fully awake from my rest I’m looking forward to tonight when I will once again get to sleep Till I see you tomorrow, dawning- do not peep!   26 th Jan 2021   Photo Credits: unsplash.com/ Kurt Liwanag Copyright © 2021 Dwordslayer& Donna-Luisa Eversley.
