I wake to the sound of rain upon my window pane

The room darkened by the dawns early light

The house peaceful and cool

I lay there wondering of what lies ahead

Do I have the strength for the day ahead

My bones ache from the cool of the night

My head aches from a lack of sleep

I tell myself not to pay attention to the pain

I ponder the thought of baking

I ponder this very poem

My mind wanders to the running list in my head

My thoughts are of writing, cleaning, decorating, holiday menus, and gift shopping

I’m certain that others are now sharing my thoughts

I realize that there is no time to waste

And I must pick up the pace

Moving on to the things on my list

Starting with a hot cup of black decaf tea

Why don’t you come and join me

and we can sit and listen to the rain falling upon my window pane.
