Relief

Eyes reluctantly
Open to see the hour
It is still early
More may I lay here and sleep
This, my favorite feeling

Author notes

This is my feeling when I wake up, look at the clock, and still have a few hours more that I can sleep. I love that feeling... as compared to the horrible feeling of waking up, hoping I have hours more to sleep, and then realizing the alarm will be sounding in a few minutes... that is a dreadful feeling (at least in my world! ;-) )

    I love that feeling, although I barely get it... I have to get up at 4:30 although I don't leave for school until about 7:15 (long story, parents make me) But sometimes I do wake up in the middle of the night, and I'll be like, "Ugh, got to get up!" Except then I realize I don't. One time I didn't realize that I didn't have to get up. My clock was all wacko and it's pretty dark when I leave, so I was standing at my bus stop at like 6 in the morning until my neighbor told me what time it was...Embarassing. Anyways great poem!

    That was a tinkering thought of the day, Tirwander..Delighting one indeed..Most of us set on the alarm to set it off..thats rather alarming just not in your world but to most of us in our world..;-))..Trivial yet written so thoughtfully..I thoroughly enjoyed..

    Cheery cheers on your/our favorite feeling

    Me too! That's exactly how I feel when that happens to me.
