What is it
that causes us
to arise each day
Is it the sun so bright
the sky so blue
But, what of grey sky days
is it simply the alarm’s sound
Could it be the song of birds
or is it things on the mind
such as chores in wait
Maybe it’s the hope
of seeing a smile
trying something new
making something right
a dream ends; perhaps, not
but after opening our eyes
somehow in body or mind
we arise, we arise, we arise

Thank you for your verse about rising in the morning. It’s a great subject. All the aspects of morning and its sights and sounds that stir us from our sleep you describe very well.
I love mornings, yet getting out of bed is a challenge. I tend to cling to the pillow, but when the daylight slides through the blinds, I’m up. Blessings to you…
Thank you for sharing your thoughts…. here’s to lesser challenges on getting out of bed! I say this in good spirit!
I hate arising. lol
But that’s only because by the time i’m through the night before i’ve only left room for about 4 – 5 hours sleep. lol
We all have a reason to arise, usually for a job we dont like. lol
Lol. unbelievable how many times i said lol here. lol
Try to get more rest if you can, so you can welcome the day… it is good to lol anytime, maybe we should try it if we are headed to that job we don’t like and then take a detour to find one that will make us lol some more. lol lol lol lol… I think I beat you! lol
I do like the positive tone of this poem..each day can and should be a celebration of life..and that is reason enough to arise. 🙂
Arise, arise, and arise all the days of our lives….
