From Night to Day

Good Morning to all! Though a little tired from staying up last night, I doggedly pulled on the Spandex and sneakers and made my way outside. The darkness was still in place and I could see the contellation of Scorpio clearly in the sky. As I turned my eyes to the East I could see that the light was cutting through the darkness revealing the outlines of treetops that would be first to claim the Sun's warmth. Though I could see them from afar, I was not joined to them for I was still a creature of the night treading upon the tarmac and and passing the glow of the solar lights. I was still a sentinel of the Darkness.
I could barely make out the Cattle pond as I passed it and yet saw the formations of the cows wading in the cool depths as they slept aright in the stillness. At this point, I pulled myself to my most upright posture and increased my stride. My quadriceps tightened and my calves lengthened to match the change of my increased height and the familiar 'burn' began as my knees acted as ratchets propelling me forward. I didn't need a written sign or landmark to signal the halfway point of my ritual, my body spoke of it clearly as it was finishing the memorized decline and the incline to be contested with after. The sky was lightening and I gave Thanks for the cool air that accompanied me and aided me as It rushed in and out of Myself in synchrony. It propelled me on and allowing me to feel each muscle as it went through it's cascade of movements to allow me the privilige of locomotion.
As I saw the form of my street sign while I was continuing my steps, a familiar sound pierced the silence of the waning night. Once more the Owl could be heard. It was a call of recognition and I acknowledged it gladly. Again it called back in a reprimanding way as if he were chiding me for not coming out earlier yesterday to share His lightless habitat. As a final admonishment. He flew above Me cutting the sky soundlessly with His wings, a bulky form that landed in the Oaks of My tree surrounded Home haughtily showing me the way.
I sauntered from the street onto my driveway and the motion detector lights gleamed harshly illuminating my way to the garage. As I walked in the door I glaved at My my richly fed cats lazing, enjoying one more nap before the dawn that would demand antics of them. As I breezed through the kitchen into the livingroom I was surrounded by the comfort of the Furniture that was once my Grandparents and My Parents after them. A tiny smile emerged upon My face. I felt at peace.
