lightness in the dark
Hey there my fellow poets! Blessings and greetings to you all for a prosperous new year. Life has been pretty rough for me since I last posted but nonetheless, as always with God's mercy and grace I've persevered. I'm finally at a point where I can start posting again. I so miss being on here and reading everyone's works. I hope that everything is going well for everyone. Let's keep the inklove flowing!

The Daily Grind

CATEGORY

When the sun rises

Morning dew glistens upon grass blades

Like a sea of diamonds.

Birds sing good mornings

Alarm clocks, sizzling hot pans

And brewing coffee

Trigger the senses

Tantalizing cilia bringing us

Out of our nightly slumber.

Footsteps, door locks and

Jingling keys start the hellos,

Car engines join in on

The conversation of our daily travels.

Chronologically revving up to

Start the work day routine.

Blowing kisses to loved ones

Standing in doorways,

Arm waves are exchanged with

Mouthings of I love you as

Cars take to the roadways.

Tuning radios and honking horns

Begin the rush hour serenade,

Moving along to your music

Your carefree flow has you

Feeling good and smiling

Time flows effortlessly with you

Nothing will stop you

From making it to work ...yeah!

Then almost halfway through,

The free flow begins to slow as

Brakes and downshifting motors

Coming from every direction

Becomes the proverbial “hum”

Of the highway.

For some choice words are

Mumbled under breath while others

Throw hands up in frustration.

But there are that select few

Who just go with the flow

No need for gettin’ upset,

Slow and steady makes it thru

With the greatest of ease

Pulling away from the crowd

You engage warp speed

As open road freedom rings.

Finally arriving at your destination,

You slow your roll allowing

Speed walking pedestrians to cross

As they race to punch the clock.

You’ve still got time before check in

So you chill contentedly smiling.

Knowing it starts all over again.

Tomorrow.

Hey, was that you who just passed by me?! Are was that you watching me heading out! BEAUTIFUL REAL LIFE IMAGING! Could see, smell, hear and feel everything! Coming and going, I always end my prayer for traveling grace with, "...that I may arrive free from harm and indeed, free from causing harm." I really love this flowing poetic reel of "The Daily Grind". Peace and Love, M. Lowe.

Thanks again Mlowe5. I see folks go out and come in every day so it seemed only appropriate to write about it with just a little spin on it.
