Dark Morning Ride
Turn out the light.
Phoenix is waiting in the dark.
PBJs packed for the ride.
The neighbor's light guides my path.
I have no headlight
this dark morning.
Only a tail light to keep me safe
Will I survive?
The school bus gathers the shuffling kids.
Could someone tell Governor Daniels
Indiana should be in the central time zone?
We don't need the sunlight so much after dinner.
We need it now.
Each day gets darker.
Every night a little longer.
Every ride a little scarier.
Passing the brave courthouse...
The tower of New Castle.
A few lonely people fill up
before the day begins.
The porch light left on.
Dad may be coming home
from night shift.
As I near the hospital
I see light shimmer in the East.
I arrive at last
...and the sun also rises.
