The sound of a school bus riding past the house. The sound of , may God will , Happy Children waiting to board there. Birds and their , hopefully happy songs , though they all sound as such to people. A hot breakfast cooking in the kitchen. A table grace prior to. The stray feral dogs and cats of the neighborhood Sights of morning.... A rising Sun chasing the dread darkness from the skies, darkness where I former walked. Traffic , what that's worth in such a small town as this. The church steeple rising to meet the sky... These sights and sounds , these joyous similarities Not available to the nocturnal inclined.
