The Serenity of the 5:00 AM Hour

It’s dark, and the world is still asleep, 

A quiet calm, so pure and deep.

The first hint of dawn hasn’t touched the sky,

But the air is crisp, and I feel alive.

A cool breeze whispers through the trees,

Bringing with it a soothing ease.

Birds begin their gentle song,

Welcoming the day, joining along.

I walk the streets, so calm, so clear,

A peaceful path that feels sincere.

Dogs yawn and stretch with sleepy eyes,

Their carefree moves a morning surprise.

My footsteps blend with the wind’s low hum,

A simple tune that makes me feel at one.

Thoughts are sharp, my heart feels light,

In this moment, everything feels right.

I reflect, set my goals, and breathe,

Before the day pulls me into its speed.

This hour’s a gift, a quiet place,

Where dreams take root, where hopes find space.

It’s not just about waking for the sake,

But for the peace only morning can make.

To pause, to think, to just exist,

To feel the dawn’s gentle twist.

So rise with me, let’s greet the day,

Let the breeze guide what’s on its way.

In this calm, you’ll find your start,

And shape the day with an open heart.
