From darkness
Dawn light trickles in
Time enough
My phone says
For the walk
I lift myself out of bed
Pull on shorts and a shirt
Sling the didge over my shoulder
Some mornings I ride
Too little time for even the few steps
But, somehow, I never miss it
I am not a morning person
Several snoozes into a day
And I linger still, in bed
Except… here
Except Noosa
Where I wake, every morning
Without alarm, prompted only
By the promise of a sunrise
On the beach, with salt air
A light breeze
Breakers
A lightening sky
Sand between my toes, and here am I
The drone of the didjeridu
Rumbles in my chest
Seagulls add their voice
To the serenade
As the amber sun crests
I am connected in space, in time
In sound and sensation
To everything
Noosa
