A morning tale

The bright sun rays are puncturing the skies The dusty clouds are scattering like flies

With audacity, the light’s barging into my room And I can see those glittery pearls on the flowers that bloom

My teeny eye-lids are still hugging each other “Am I still awake or still dreaming?” I wonder

Then I see that the chimneys are smoking, yet again And my ears are deafened by the whistling of the train

The cat and the mouse has begun their chase And the birds are flapping their wings with grace

On the streets, the school-kids are waving goodbye to their Moms While their Dads are focused on the phones in their palms

The hills are peeping, untying their bonnets The cuckoos are singing Shakespeare’s sonnets

I know that the day is fresh and new Ready to embrace me and gift me what’s due

The day has brought a million reasons for me to wake up But, my sleep’s too sweet, I don’t want to break-up

The tears of dew are rolling down my windows Yet I want to sleep a little longer, hugging my soft pillows

Oh, day! Please, don’t start so soon I wish that the moon stayed till noon

When I Refused to Wake up

A morning tale
