Daybreak

                                                                    ... crossing the bridge 
           
                           ... the neighbor's truck rumbles me awake 
                                                                                
                                                                                               ... day breaks on river road

  1. I missed this yesterday, Teresa, but, better that it found me today, just past daybreak, a truck actually rumbled down our road. Such a lovely, atmospheric poem.

  2. I like this a lot. Years ago during the summer a motorcycle used to buzz past my house every weekday at 6:30AM. At first I found it annoying.
    But soon it almost served as a comfort. Daily life was good. I realized how fortunate I was. I now miss the sound of that motorcycle.

    1. Steven, There's something almost like a ritual about these things that are a nice part of our lives ... I understand ... :)

  3. I like this. There are different rhythms in rural live. A truck as an alarm clock is one that is unique but rings so true. I love your observations and the simplicity in your expression. This was really good.
