Parking Lot Mornings

My insatiable need

to get up in the

wee-smalls

of every morning

provide some of the most 

exquisite

parking lot moments.

When my spirit

is nudged from sleep

before 5 AM

I know there is a reason 

I'm supposed to be awake.

If 

perhaps

only to see a

perfectly lovely sunrise

and be thankful

I am alive.

I get up.

I get moving.

And I take

as many moments as feels right

to welcome

the beauty of another day.
