My eyes slowly open to the sun rising. Wisps of light filter through the thin curtains; slivers of gilded rays breaking the haze of swirling vapour from the humidifier. A golden mist kissing my skin. The rain beats down on the damp earth with sluggish plump drops spattering onto the windows ledge from the roof.  I drift, in and out for a time, caught up in the dewy dreaminess of morning.
