I Awoke Early

by Steve J. Burkett (author's profile)

Transcription

I awoke early
this morning
from a restless
night's sleep

listening to the sounds
of old diesels dead-heading
on distant highways
going places unknown

the chirping of robins
dancing in a stand
of old oak trees
beside a day creek bed

there is a summer's moon
hanging low in the sky
it's moonbeams shimmering
through the holes in my walls

on the hilltop
the castle is silhouetted
in the moonlight shinning
through its tower windows

projecting a picture
of your face in the sky
smiling upon me
like an old masterpiece
