Around 4am at this time of the year (Free verse) by Nicholas Jones
Daybreak arrives and I am awake to witness it.
The solstice is soon and the time is inconvenient.
Because this is the darkest time to be awake
and the fear is at its strongest
I have to find a mental activity
to distract me from the light.
Oddly this is supplied by watching the sun
begin to move and for the trees to become lit.
So by seeing the garden lighten outside the bedroom
I am able to stave off the fear of the moment
caused by the feeling of being here at this time in the light.
