Elixir

We all tend to look
For the magic elixir
Be it in a drug
Religion
Or a way in which we eat

I've stopped looking
For one that gives life
My quest is more focused
On the day-to-day

Getting up at 5 is so tough
Sometimes
And this early morning
Rain made me rush to the line
Yank the clothing off
So it wouldn't be soaked
As I drenched my arm-
In cold
Still not yet awake-

Today's elixir
