Quiet Time
In preschool
they taught us "Quiet Time"
that time each day when we sat
or lay on our blankets
in silence
Now I need to make time to be silent
getting up at 5:00 AM
rising before the sun
the silence filled only
with the pumping of blood through my body
and the white noise of the electric lines and the cars on the freeway.
Clearing the mind
not trying to figure things out
but just to feel the feelings
letting the mind drift
like clouds in the sky
A time for acceptance
and renewal
creating a fresh start to the day.
