I wonder how long it’s been

Since I used to wake up this early in the morning

Taking a deep, conscious breath with every step I take

Buttering my perfectly toasted bread

Making myself a cup of soya iced coffe

Putting on my favourite piano & string jazz

Looking out the windows of my bedroom while daydreaming

Of my happy places, of the familiar faces,

Or just a dream I smiled waking up to last night.

 

– It’s not just a sudden state of mind, it’s a way of life

Feeling so grateful for having emails in my inbox

From clients, partners, colleagues reminding each other to stay safe

 

With this blessed embrace, I feel like we’re all going to be fine,

Under this shining warm sun, I feel like we’re all going to thrive.
