A MOMENT - OR TWO..


(c) unknown

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.
