Morning Wonders

I am by nature NOT a morning person, but because I have chosen to go to work early 5:30 I am privy to the wonders of the morning.
How many of you have experienced the peace and quiet of a morning drive while the sun is still sleeping or as it is barely cresting the horizon.
In suburbia America there are few commuters up this early and it makes for a pleasant experience.
In my community I drive around a body of water called Sinclair Inlet. As I round the curve if the sun hasn't come up yet, I can almost make out the dark, shadowy, silhouettes of the Navy vessels tagged as the mothball fleet. in the spring as a slight pink color tints the horizon you can start making out the masts and massive steel hulks, it is quiet, they make no noises, these heroes of long gone wars. It is an eerie stillness as the ghosts of these vessels reside within their empty hulls. It is quiet and peaceful.
Once I have passed the shipyard I enter the community of Bremerton a landscape of lawns and trees and fences encircling houses with curtained windows most of them darkened. Not all there a few with a light in the window and I wonder what is going on in this household. Are they just waking up, are they getting ready for work or some other adventure, are they happy, are they sad. Is it a family, a couple, a single person, what are they thinking this early in the morning.
I watch the woman walking to the ferry six blocks away as she does every morning and it is peaceful and it is quiet. It makes it all worth getting up this early.
