Woke up super early one day like way earlier than i usually do no alarm or anything. My eyes were still halfvclosed when i stumbled out to the kitchen fumbling around to get the coffee going. Honestly? I was not even fully awake yet just moving on autopilot because i had had this weird dream and could not fall back asleep.
Got my mug filled up with that good strong stuff we always keep around stepped out onto the porch and whoa. The sky was absolutely insane. I know for sure it was the morning birds were already chirping up a storm in the trees but it looked so much like a sunset i had to rub my eyes and do a double take.
All warm yellows and soft oranges mixed with patches of light blue up top and the clouds? They looked like they had been dipped in honey just glowing under whatever that light was doing.
There were these huge thick bushes and tall palm trees right next to the house blocking part of the sun so they looked all dark and silhouetted against the bright sky. You could barely make out the leaves, just these big dark shapes standing out like cutouts.
Over by the main road there’s that big rice field we always pass when we head into town you could see every little blade of grass and all the tiny drops of dew on them were sparkling like tiny glass beads whenever the light hit just right.
And on the other side of the yard the sun was peeking through some big tree branches shooting out rays like it was putting on a special show just for me. I just stood there holding my coffee letting it warm my hands because it was still a little chilly out that crisp morning air that makes you pull your shoulders up a bit.
Kinda felt like i had stumbled into some secret spot nobody else knew about. Like nature decided to mix up morning and night just to make me stop and pay attention to what’s right there in front of us every single day. Never thought a random early morning could hit that hard but sometimes the best stuff in life happens when you are not even trying to find it. You just gotta be awake enough to notice it.
