Morning Delight
Locations
Excitement courses through me
Like ants in a mad dash for discarded apple pie
I close my eyes and wait for the magic to begin…
Crickets drone themselves off to sleep
With their own melody but I am awake
The dark sky waits omnipresent and covert
Hiding in plain sight around trees and around buildings
delighted in its own enigma
Before the sun comes up
I quiver with glee
Its my little secret
I’m spying on the world
No one can see me but I can hear everything
The few cars that levitate above the roads and down the lanes
Headlights blinking into night’s eye
Peaking from beneath the covers
Let no one know you are awake
Lest the magic be undone
It lasts until the sun peaks over the first corner
Of the first building
Winking at its own brilliance
Yawning as it rises in the sky
So soft
Hot white gold and rose red, purple and violet
Oh what we see
Me the garbage collector and the farmer
We all know each other
We have witnessed the same sun
We have shared an unspoken secret that we will never tell
I’m ready for the day
I rose with the sun
Nothing can bring me down
