Nature video of the day: rushing creek.

as the creek babbles and rushes
above rocks and around mosses
i think about today's
rush hour
in the city, far away
cars rumble
and sirens scream
people eat cereal and drink coffee
trying to wake up in time for work,
in the village
cows shuffle in their stalls
waiting to be milked
and pigs snort in excitement
as their human prepares their breakfast
another kind of rush hour
is quieter, but rather more omnipotent
and that is the babbling creek
liberated from the icy winter months
happily rambling along
maybe someone will notice and appreciate it
possibly not a soul will see it
that doesn't have anything to do with the creek, however
for it will burble on, noticed or not,
in the lively morning rush hour

This morning we woke up at 4 AM. The truth is, for full disclosure, that we went to bed around 8 PM to compensate for getting up early. But still, when I mention to people that I get up at four in the morning on a regular basis, they are terrified. (Those people usually don’t get up until 8 AM or later, which is also perfectly fine, and much more relaxing!)
