Poetry Project, V. 10.0, Day 3

Oy - unplanned travels this week have made for some sporadic writing.  It will take me the weekend to catch up, I think.  Suffice it to say it was family business, of an unpleasant nature.  Not the most fun.  Anyway, the next few poems might be influenced by that, so i hope you'll bear with me.

Nanuet


it's cold here, still,
in a way i had long forgotten,
the morning refusing to let go of winter's chill,
even though the birds can be heard singing
with the beginning of the morning.
i can hear the streets outside the hotel,
already bustling with the commuters
on their way into the city,
a strange orchestra of sounds,
caressing and assaulting my ears
that have not yet awoken.
i'll leave today,
and head back to my regular life -
it will be a relief,
and yet, i will be sad to leave this place,
these people whom i have gotten to know a little,
and even the cold mornings.

Thanks for reading!!
