A MOMENT - OR TWO..

A MOMENT - OR TWO

The quiet stillness of the dawn 

envelops me

wrapped in a cocoon of peace

and solitude

I, at first, feel tense

so much to do

yet, too early for most.

Time to relax, yet I shower, 

quickly,

not willing to let the first

rays of sunlight elude me.

In the distance

a bird calls to it's mate

welcoming a new dawning.

Time to sit and think

and write

to welcome God's gift

of a brand new day.

Too late, the haunting bark 

of the dog next door

shatters the stillness of the dawn.

Then, once again, peace

and quiet…

a steaming cup of coffee

my only companion.

Thank you, Lord,

for these Blessed moments

and, more importantly,

a time of renewal.
