I should use this energy for the novel, but...

I absolutely love this time of night. The sky has not started the long journey to daylight just yet, so there is an imminent sense of change in the air, though it is still dark all above. Leaves are rustling, lightly blowing across the deck as the breeze plays with them. The sound is very intimate to me, as if I am the only one to hear it at this moment. Seeing that I am probably the only one awake in the neighborhood, that could well be the case.
No, I spy a window with a light on, one street over. I wonder if they are preparing for another day, or - as I am - not yet finished with one. If I didn't know that it would just lead me into trouble later, I would prepare some coffee and go sit in the leaves on the deck and watch the sun rise. Right now, this little bit of the world is all mine, and that makes me happier than I've been in quite some time.
