there is clarity
in the cold darkness
of a November morning;
before the sun hints
at the night sky
the cold bites
at exposed skin
awakening the mind,
driving out the clouds
of sleep
weighted by the trials
of days gone by;
in this dark silence
the crisp air makes
anything feel possible,
all paths are open -
free from doubt -
lean in,
take the first step
towards becoming
who you see
with these unclouded eyes
