Morning observations rarely register
as we wake and wander our way
through infant hours.
It takes a moment for
the mind to come alive while
the gravity of the day settles in.
We fail to notice little things,
considerably more substantial days ago,
perhaps once meaningful or spiritual,
now displaced as the second hand
of the wristwatch sweeps onward.
Afford yourself opportunity
to be distracted by butterflies, soon
a scent of lilacs, freesia, even the taste of
spring rain or requisite morning coffee.
In days so rent with common
occurrences, look beyond
what is there.

Self-discovery begins by opening up. Look at your self.
Look inside, remind yourself of what it has taken to get this far.
You have learned lessons that have already been forgotten, but that knowledge remains with you, subconsciously or otherwise.
Open up those weary eyes.
Rediscover what it is there.
Don’t be surprised at what you see, and be less surprised at what you know.
