Morning Music - Poetry of God’s World
I go to turn on the classical music station
But instead the sweet morning draws me in
I listen not to Chopin but to the unfurling day
Rolling tires crunching along the driveway
Neighbors cheerful morning greetings
Laundry room machines hum and tumble
Garbage truck dumping dumpsters at Safeway
Singing wind chimes
Rabbit’s padded hops
Hummingbird’s quick click
I am so glad I chose the morning sounds
I may have missed the ruby throated bird
