Morning's Cacophony

Morning’s Cacophony

There are moments stillness in the air

As a new day begins to share

Faint hum of distance cars, begins to grow

“Urr, urr, urr, echos the rooster crows

Cars rush by with a “vroom, vroom”

“Cheer-up, cheer-up” the robin sings his tune

“Squawk, squawk, squawk’’sings the bluejay choir

Finches “twitter, twitter” the pitch much higher

“Rumble, rumble “as a truck rolls past

Quietness moments briefly last

Rooster crows. “urrr, urrr, ur” once more

Signaling morning is at the door

“Twitter, twitter” the house finch’s refrain

A gentle song breaking the quiet chain

Nature’s melody mingles with the noise

Quiet moments of gratitude for the joys

Welcoming this gift of a new day

As a cacophony of sounds starts to play
