Begin Anew: A Short Morning Poem in Four Lines
A short morning poem in four lines — sunlight, love, fear, and the quiet moment when a new day finally feels like enough.
A list. The shape of an actual quiet morning, in four words and four phrases.
Sunlight
Beaming through my windows
Love
Bundled within my blankets
Fear
Feels like distant memories
Moments
Time to begin anew
You don’t always have to write a long poem to mark a good morning. Sometimes you just have to notice that today, the fear feels far away. Save the noticing in case the next one’s harder.
