Morning Sounds


There is something about the early morning light
To delight
The senses
As fluttering wings hint
At the source
Of cheerful sounds filling the air
In notes that
Override
The background drone
Of insects buzzing their constant
Tones.

Heavy,
Humid,
Warm
Air saturated with the scents
Of blooming trees
Mutes
The stirring sounds of neighbors
Waking.

Even in this neighborhood where people surround --
Hidden
Within their caves
Of brick and wood,
Protected from that which would
Overtake them
If not for the constant battle
Against --
Is life;
Thriving
In a world of concrete
And asphalt.
