Awakening to Morning's Dream-Like Reality
By Don Iannone

Stand witness to the morning sun,
as she cuts through
the clutter of dreams
left behind by your spirit
on your still fluffy pillow.
Embrace your new beginning,
as the clouds part,
allowing your heart to rejoice
in the newborn light of daybreak.
Resolve yourself to the reality
that how this day seems to you
flows directly from how you really are.
Appreciate early in this day
that the spirit-spun dreams
left behind on your pillow
may be your best shot at truth,
so long as you awaken to your dreams
before you sleep once again.
