first light
a moment of soul peace
before rising

late night
walking over my threshold
finally relaxing

extra day off-
NCIS marathon
and last of junk food stash

long weekend's eve
the thought of reading a whole book
quickens my pace

chatting with roommate-
long weekend agendas
making end game plans

great sleeping weather
working hard to rouse myself
when the alarm sounds

crispness in the air
plaid ribbon dances on jacket
on the way to the car
