The dew is layered upon my windshield. The city's blood starts to pump through its veins Faster, awakening before its yield To deadlock before nine o'clock's slow pains; But I am up early, I'm spared these banes. I've smoked before the rising of the Sun, And an abundance of daylight remains To be enjoyed after my work is done. Today can be a day to champion Perseverance of personal designs, Gratitude for a day that is still young. So much light and warmth left to trace the lines Of trouble and struggle toward ascent, With luck an answer to why we've been bent.
