Morning Glories

Today, for no reason at all and without my phone’s prompting, I woke up. Early.

As I lay in bed, half-groggy, half-alert, the sun slowly rising to greet the day, I began to daydream:

Of hopes and dreams and future things.
Of love and marriage,
Of horses and carriages
Of hands to hold
and sweet kisses on foreheads

I dreamt about what could be and smiled in eager anticipation.

Then, reality struck me in the head and I awoke to the day, showered and drove to work.

Such is the story for this morning glory.
