This time in the morning

Never meant anything to me

Other than driving

Father to train

Up sometimes

Before or with

The sun

Roads pass

Lights on

Barely any people

Get home

Back to bed

Sound asleep

Never a second thought

Until now

Until you

Day in and

Day out

Like clock work

Without fail

I wait

I wait

And smile

It is

6:30am

When I get

Your call

Your message

It is the only thing

That will make me

Lighten at that ung-dly hour

Even the sun

Can't chase away

Those thoughts

Come first

No matter

The dreams

The nightmares

The insomnia

6:30am

I know

What to expect

As I get back

And curl up

Under my blanket

That's when I listen

When I hear

What I knew was coming

It's become

A ritual

Never do I

Enter dreamland again

Without going

Thru those motions

It's your voice

That soothes

That deep rumble

Like thunder

Over the sea

Once I finish

With your updates

I can close my eyes

Smile again

Let the Sandman

And the angel dust

Do its rightful job
