I awoke just before
six this morning,
Then decided to greet
today’s sunrise.
I rode my old bicycle
to the beach.
Early enough to
witness with my eyes,
The darkness of night
meet its own demise,
Far enough to be out
of my arm’s reach.
A pale orange glow
climbed the horizon,
Sweeping away any
clouds gathering,
When the blazing sun
took place in the sky.
For at least a part of
the current day,
Providing much comfort
of light and warmth,
For those just stirring
and starting their day.
Riding the ribbon of
the bike's pathway,
The sun keeps to my
right as I head north,
Thanking God for all my
blessings today.
It is something I will
never deny,
Nothing came easy, at
times finished last,
Yet, remained humble
about achievements.
With an accomplished
academic past,
A four decade
legacy-filled career,
“Well played, Mr.
Kovacs!, I faintly hear.
I exclaimed, “Thank
you!”, then “Who’s this?”, I asked,
Clouds celebrated,
dancing new movements,
Winds whispered, “You remained focused and steadfast.”
