Reverberating

up before the dawn

empty roads and morning frost

my breath fogs the air

bright hospital glow

like a beacon in the dark

as I drive closer

alone with my thoughts

commute of meditation

the world is still asleep

parking lot of steel

my steps, so loud on concrete

reverberating

another one, now

each day echoing the last

I breathe, and step in
