Daybreak Poem by Farah Taskin

I wake up long before sunrise
There's only darkness all around
I perform ablution and wear perfume
The sound of adhan reaches my ears
Heart is hallowed
Arabic alphabets surround me
I pray and leave my home
The cold roof is like an ice castle
Fog enters my lungs
The sun slowly rises
I take off my hoodie
There's no hydrating serum or sunscreen gel on my face
The sun kisses me
I'm sun-kissed
The sound of the morning birds chattering tongue twisters is lovely
Hot lemon ginger tea calls me
And my day starts
