Early Morning - (Gainesville, FL 2000)

Is never lonely

Just quiet and at peace

The day still clean

The air fresh and sweet

Unburdened with humanity

In its crisp air

You feel life

As a focused thing

Not drowned out

With noises that compete

It could be wished

That the rest of the day

Would be so pristine

But the morning

It lacks diversity
