An Early Morning Calm


My life is one of quiet contemplation.

Resisting the magnetic pull of noise,

I sit. No radio. No internet.

No papers or TV. No suit or tie.

No world of work. I look out of the window.

 

The sky today is uniformly white

and light, relentless rain is falling earthwards.

The play of silence in my mind gives way

to simple thought: an early morning calm.

The world of words has woken, and I listen.
