Each Highway Overpass

While walking on the overpass I noticed the trucks and cars gliding toward their next destination.

The traffic beside me was also moving smoothly.

Thankfully smart city planners and engineers imagined this intersection interaction many years ago.

Thousands of vehicles passed this small parcel of real estate daily.

There is no stop sign, traffic signal or police officer to make the interactions safe.

This and hundreds of other well-crafted cross roads keep the people moving steadily.

There are times when I feel awe as I pass under the complex ways major highways intersect.

I admit that I have taken for granted the science and art of civil engineering.

My life is more pleasant and peaceful because they applied their talents behind the scenes.

Each highway overpass is yet another silent servant.

I see you there silent servant.
