Snooze

This morning

I hit snooze too many times.

This morning

I stayed in bed,

Listening to the ocean fall.

This morning

I waited for the light to peek through

My window.

It didn't.

This morning

I realized I wasn't prepared - 

Am not prepared - 

For what is coming.

This morning

I tried to go back to sleep.

But I was awake,

This morning.
