it still amazes me
the places i find peace.
today i’m parked on a gravel
road in the middle of nowhere.
lingering clouds are hiding the sunrise
and there isn’t another soul awake for miles.
before i enter this corn field,
i’m going to stretch my arms out wide
and enjoy what’s left of the darkness
before the sun rudely interrupts my moment.
this I think to myself
with the light calming air
as it floats across the rows
like a cool ocean breeze.
