I have not seen the sunrise in a while
But today is different
I woke up to see lines of light
Peaking into my room from behind the curtains
I checked the time to see big and bright
Its six am and the sun has just woken up here too
I part my curtains and all the dust particles begin to dance in the rays of sunshine
My room is dusty
Well, lets clean it
As if like a flower chosen by God
As all flowers are
When the sun kissed my skin
It lit my heart ablaze
The energy from the star of day invigorated me to start my day in the right way
I danced with my cat to the music of my parent's time because I wanted to feel closer to them and they are so far away
I messaged some friends I haven't spoken to in ages because the days used to fly by so fast, it felt like a burden to reach out
But today is different
Today without a doubt is different
Because the sun made me feel to write again
And I have not written in ages
Because the days before felt so short, too short,
To do anything worth saving, worth recording or worth remembering
But I would like to remember today for years to come
So cheers to the Sunrise on the Horizon
