Dawn is rising,
enduring the heavyweight grind,
competing with the champion sun

Birds harmonize in unison,
smirking as the sluggish humans
grumble and enviously catch their gaze.

It isn’t all so serious,
though, it appears that way.

The birds are the only wise ones

They wake before the rest,
before the sun,
before dawn and all that dawn brings,
on their own accord,
by their own choosing.

    I really enjoyed this poem. It’s funny how birds seem to have sleep all figured out. Their internal clock works much better than ours!

      It really is !! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed this piece. Birds inspire me so much. There are times when I watch them, that I can’t help but either smile or cry because they’re just such underrated creatures .
