Early to rise

I was up at 4:40 a.m., this morning, which is pretty much normal for me these days because I mostly go to bed around 8 p.m. I must have gotten old, or something, to be keeping these hours. When I was younger, I used to just be going to bed at the time that I, now, rise. I like these early morning hours. There is some clear, crisp, and pure about them. I can often write well at this time.
