i awaken within 6am,
the sun still sleeps between
morning and night.
stars are vanishing
within a lighter sky.
the after shower left
a smell of salt water
burning into my memory.
dense mist lingers among
the lawn and streets, as
crickets dance for their
mating of a new generation.
blue jays, robins, and swallows
make conversations before
the sun sends them
to work.
as they laze around
i stare into a far distance,
as a leap of lighten
torn me right out of
my skin.
the birds left, the crickets leaped
into tree holes.
as i stare still scared
to the bone,
reawaken to reality.

ken206573 - reality will scare one right to the bone at times, as you so well described...
