Like a plain sheet
It is nestled here
In its perfection
I wake up to it
In the middle of the night
It commands a surge of
gratitude
Supplies time to think
It’s intent is just to be
present.
SILENCE!
An opportunity to be
Just be
Enveloped in this hushed space.
During the March slice of life challenge, I collected many words from slicers, words I have never used in my writing. I vowed to use them frequently and today I have been able to dot some of them around, here in my poem about silence.
