An Early Morn

Early Sunday morning in silence open door There is a trail of paper on the floor and track This will be my day of rest won't worry of floor In this silence, listen any sounds brain to rack The sound of snoring coming from husband whose care Has been mine for weeks now; sounds of sleep talking by Him, the constant ringing in mine ears, warm flow air Forced by the heat pump, writing now lone skillfully Somehow remove all unpleasant thoughts_ and clear My cluddered brain reaching to this wonderful task The cup of coffee speaks_drink; globe just ask Where would you like to go today?_ just stay here No I shall not look at dirty floor and get mop The refrigerator quietly sings (please) don't stop

Hello Sara, THanks so much for your comment on my work. Sunday is indeed a day of rest you have put this so nicely in your words. I am a bit late with reading my comment box and need to work on that. A good resolution for 2011. Anyway, thanks again. God bless you and yours in 2011. Keep writing and keep your muse happy. Jancarl

Beautiful imagery and sound Sara. I could hear your husband snoring, the heat pump humming, the refrigerator singing, see the papers on the floor, and smell the coffee; and you sitting there in complete peace. Great write honey, you captured the moment so well... Lay
