EARLY ONE MORNING

hat is it about the morning? The beginning of a bright new dawn; That makes you wonder ~ Before the house awakes and you find yourself talking to the Son~

●

I lie awake and staring at the empty room
I wonder ~
is it the room that is empty?

Mother says ‘that there is good in everyone
some hide it
some neglect it
but it is there’

I wonder ~

Oscar says ‘those who see any
difference between soul
and body
have neither’

I wonder ~

Billie says ‘Champions are afraid
of losing
and everyone else is afraid
of winning’

I wonder ~

Someone said ‘Love is life
and if you miss love
- you miss life’

Is it really the room that is empty?
