An early morning walk

Another unusual thing for me – getting out of bed early enough for an early morning walk 😀

And the sun rises

An early morning walk
The sun rising over the beach
The dogs skipping around
Kayaks paddling by.

Such a lovely time of day
Before the onslaught of people
Cars, trucks and roaring motorbikes
As humanity explores the day.

The birds sing so sweetly
The magpies carol
The kite sits in a tall tree
Scanning the beach for a feed.

And we walk along the sand
Greeting others enjoying the morn
The sun blaring in our eyes
The cool of the night lingering.

Maybe I’ll get to bed a bit earlier
Arising in the pre-dawn chill
Embracing the stillness of the dawn
Forgoing the warmth of the bed, Maybe!
