First Bright Spot

Poem of the Day:

First Bright Spot

Light vest flashing bright 
Hat with a light
Reflective vest with phone 
Flashlight on, I’m in the zone

I got all the lights so I glow   
A 50 minute run in the dark, go! 
Roads clear though snow is coming
No matter, my mind-body humming  

I’m alert to cars as they pass
In and out of driveways fast 
Gas stations, stop signs 
Do they even see me shine?

A truck speeds out of the lot 
doesn’t bother to spot 
Me running on the side 
He zooms out in his ride  

I’m flashing light as I run 
Can’t they see me I’m like the sun 
Oh well must have somewhere to be
I keep my eyes alert on the road see

A snowplow rumbles past 
Gives a beep beep blast 
I give a wave fast 
I’m noticed at last!
