in the morning

Enveloped.

Heart beating.  Match the rhythm.  Rise and fall of chest, I find cadence.

Quiet.  Words are futile.  Self deception blinds.  This feels new.

But it is not.

Remind me this isn't new.

Breathe.

Rest.  Heavy.  Pressure.  Still.

Very, very still.

All the world.

Except my mind... fighting.

Scarred, tired.

Inhale.

Laughter bubbles beneath it.

Sun rises.  Shadows cast.

Sweat dries in the heat.

Fatigue rocks to sleep.
