Isn’t it nice, refreshing,
to rise every morning
with a clean slate?
No writing leftovers,
nor blurred, chalky smudges
that stubbornly refuse to leave.
Absolutely nothing there
to clutter your mindspace,
blocking your endeavour
to write anew,
the script of a new day.
A brief moment,
just a brief moment,
to awaken your sleepy nerves,
find your moorings,
ponder a bit over good, happy things
coming your way,
during the entire day,
and plan to execute,
make them come true.
Performing on a daily basis,
just the small, routine ritual,
performed consciously
puts you on the track,
to move slowly but surely
on your path to success,
achievement and happiness.
Perhaps you don’t realize,
you’ve yourself
made your day.
P.S.: But do not forget
to wipe the slate clean, before
shutting your eyes
for the night.
