Outside
in the near distance
mist coats pines with illusion
stillness, all around,
echoes the silence
of a slumbering earth

a rumble!
motor’s life
breaks the morn awake
surely now
the day’s commenced
my solitude
the hour intrudes
lights switch on,
doors click to the waking
footsteps--
a stirring to slow rising
bit
by
bit
brush by yawn
as if a rhyming
unto the dawn
awakes the sleeper
life goes on

awaking slow , your words
whispered a peaceful glow
