Totalfeckineejit is our driver this week and he suggests we sit quietly and observe the way we feel, our surroundings, etc. I made my observations early this morning:
.
I sit, comfortable and relaxed in my armchair.
The reading lamp casts it's gentle light
as I listen to the early morning sounds -
birds singing, a dog barking,
the heating boiler humming.
.
Eyes closed, I take a sip of my first cuppa of the day.
It is just the way I like it - not too hot, not too strong.
It warms, revives and refreshes me
when I am still heavy with sleep
and gratefully cocooned in warmth and comfort.
.
It invigorates and stirs my sluggish brain into action
so that I can begin to plan my day.
I take more sips, watching the daylight
strengthen behind the closed curtains.
By the time my cup is empty I am fully awake.

I like this, like the peace before the day starts.. I often listen to the sounds before I get up, and that first few sips of tea is paramount...very evocative!
Your start to the day sounds like mine :-) except that at the moment our boiler isn't working! Thank goodness it's a bit milder than a week or two ago. Great poem Heather. x
Beautiful start to the day, so cosy and safe and warm. I'm jealous!
And tea - best drink of the day! (after beer)
Just a lovely way to wake up! and it is so wise to give ourselves time- Thanks!
It is indeed a high point of the day - that first cup!

Morning is my reverie, the quiet, the first rays of light. You described the beginning of your day beautifully.
I should definitely have written mine in the early morning. Loved your start to the day, especially the light gaining strength behind the curtain.
You describe one of the day's highlights - the gentle breaking of a new possibility.
Really nice and I can find a duality to that last line that is really telling.

A gentle way to begin a new day...
