Friday Coming On
Tuesday morning crept into my mind as I opened my eyes in the dawn.
Whatever dreams I was dreaming; they ended with a sleepy yawn.
Daylight is braking, nighttime has hidden, and time has delivered the light.
The sun peeks through my window today; I’ve survived another long night.
The buzz of moonlight rings in my ears like a jet on a cross country flight.
The shadows of starlight scurry away, replaced by the new mornings light.
This morning came uninvited; not a “Thank you”, “Excuse me”, or “Please”.
Another day has entered my door; entered like an unbridled breeze.
The week unfolds like an unfurled flag that flaps so free in the wind.
Time marches on to the beat of a clock hidden so deeply within.
Days fly past and repeat the course that has happened many a time.
Wednesday is coming, it can’t be stopped, and Thursday is close behind.
These are the thoughts that float through my brain as I lay in my cozy bed.
The days of the week that haunt my life will soon be past and dead.
Soon the time will come to me that will turn my soul to song.
It’s a feeling of joy impending; I feel a Friday coming on.~Jay Olson
