This Morning

By BobL ... for Joanna, on Friday the 10th of December, 1999

This morning my heart is bouncing
So high it collides with my drooping eyelids
This morning I am surprisingly awake.

This morning the corners of my mouth
Turn up so high they lift my minds energy level
This morning I am surprisingly alert.

This morning the blood does not pound through my veins
But sort of slithers and wiggles and giggles
This morning I am surprised by life.

This morning even my memories are happy
And they snuggle into one another as I deal with my work
This morning I am surprised by love.

This morning the surprise continues
As I look into my heart and see the love still smiling
This morning even the hopeless smile.
