Early Morning Song

I’m going to wake early in the morning. Before the sun. Before the people.
Drag myself from my bed.

I’m going to drive down to the beach, near where the river meets the sea.

I’m going to walk.
Feel the cold air.
The December rain.
The wind in my face.

Watch the water breaking on the shore. Listen to the roar of waves

Breathe in deep. Look out across the water and say.

I am still here.
Still alive.
I’m not giving up

Not ever.

The beach is one of my favourite places. A good place to take a moment and just breathe in Autumn.
