Soundwalk

I waked up at 6 am and headed down the neighborhood. It was around 7 am when I arrived at a small park across the street. The sky was still blue and dark, as the sun was slowly rising. It was the start of a new day. Walking around the quiet road, I heard someone jogging around the park. The sound was light, as one kept his pace. I heard cars' engine, fading in and out as it quickly passed through the nearby driveway. The wind was blowing, making trees to rustle. Birds were chirping, near yet far away. I sat on one of the benches in the park, facing the group of people practicing their morning exercise. Closed my eyes and focused, but could not hear them moving, as they moved very slowly and cautiously. Far away, I heard a conversation which the volume grew bigger as they walked toward to the park. Then I heard beep sound of car unlocking, and soon the engine of the car fading out as it drove away. As the time became close to 8 am, I could hear an increased number of people jogging and more conversation. The sky was clear and the sun was bright. It was a one peaceful morning.
