Upon Waking Up (poetry)

Upon Waking Up

Upon waking up I see

I’m like the cat that comes to my door every day

and one day will not return.

Upon waking up I see

I’m like the dew arriving from the sky at night,

returning to the sky by day.

Upon waking up I see the only 'truth' is kindness

and that you and I are the cat at the door,

you and I are dew waiting for the day.
