Early Morning Walk

The door opens
like a gateway
to nirvana
ravaging the dark
with the outside light

Sun glaring down
like a stern parent
disapproving the showering
of such grace
on undeserving kids

Chirping birds
barking dogs
feral cats
on the prowl

All a symphony
of morning glory
on the summer day
from heaven

Trekking along 
winding roads
as nature opens up
before us

Our bodies 
seek to unlock
from restrictive
digital positions

No technology here
microchips cannot 
replace the unrivaled
pleasure that 
nature offers
the body, spirit
and soul

Enjoyed reading about your morning walk. Mornings offer a quiet time because most sleep in if possible. It is amazing what we can see and hear when out and looking and listening just about daylight. Sara
