About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Prompt: How do you begin each day? What is the best way for anyone to begin each day? View this from any angle that you wish.

---------------

Although it is not always possible, I try to begin it by reading a joke or laughing at something with the hope that the mood will carry through the day. If I am in a hurry, I look at the mirror in the morning where, in one corner, I put a note that says: Mirrors don’t lie. I just hope they don’t laugh. This humor thing is aside from or some time during the washing up and all those physical things we do to our bodies.

Afterwards, I get breakfast ready while I listen from earphones to some music I like in one of my tiny music players that fit in a shirt pocket. After breakfast, I do what needs to be done around the house and then tackle my laptop.

I don’t know what is the best way to begin each day for everyone, since each person is different and responds to different stimuli. For me, it is humor and music to get me through the day the best way possible. For someone else, it could be gymnastics, talking on the phone, visiting his or her garden etc. We are all so different and that difference is the most wonderful thing as it makes us the human family that we are in total.
