In the early morning
the view is clear;
we can see for miles.
As day emerges,
clouds obscure our vision,
our perspective decreases.
Clarity before obscurity.
Peace before busyness.
One to hold the other at bay.

Exactly! Mornings are the best and the earlier we get up the more possible everything appears to be 👌❤️️
lol
Personally, I’m a night owl, and more inclined to see dawn from the other direction. 😉 We had a friend in town this weekend, staying at a B&B. He said when he got up, he had an amazing view, but by the time the wife woke up, everything was shrouded in mist. I could see a metaphor there! 😉
Quite beautiful. Perfect ending. I like perfect endings. 🙂
🙂
Your priorities are spot on, as ever.
Thanks for stopping by. It’s a pleasure to have such a regular reader!
The clouds I reckon is a metaphor for distractions? Loved the message.
Could be…
Thanks.
