I almost lost track
Of the wonders of this world
I got misplaced in the chaos
And disheveled by adulthood
But today I decided
To stop, stare, and breathe
And I sighed in awe
And exhaled in disbelief
I'd begun to ignore
The early morning symphony
Like the sounds of the birds
That whistled from the trees
I'd become annoyed with chill
That christened the morning air
But it is with that chill I explore my senses
Lest that feeling did disappear
I'd become numb to the wondrous light
That speckled the night sky
In my hustle and bustle
To get home and unwind
As a child I use to gaze endlessly at the stars
The reflection and the time reveal who we are
I almost lost track
Of the wonders of this world
