Morning dawns...


                                                                                        And I scramble
                                                                                        Like an addict looking for her fix.
                                                                                        Light up the flame
                                                                                        Whip out the milk
                                                                                        Leaves from the hills
                                                                                        Whose freshness I yearn
                                                                                        Maybe it's their energy that I crave.
                                                                                        The mountains are calling
                                                                                        And I must go.
                                                                                        Life is waiting
                                                                                        I must wake up,
                                                                                        Look at it eye to eye and say,
                                                                                        'Take a hike with me.'
                                                                                        That mild sweetness in my cup
                                                                                        Bees that have rambled and traversed
                                                                                        This dying breed I seek.
                                                                                        No ties and shackles of slumber
                                                                                        The cup that I drink from world's left behind
                                                                                        From ventures anew
                                                                                        My daily fix...this morning brew!
