Boston Summer

Rain slips down the window quietly, Morning unfurls in pale silver light. Shadows stretch across the cool kitchen floor, Coffee steams and memory stirs awake. Birdsong drifts through the unopened blinds, Dreams linger on the edge of thought. Time tiptoes softly into the room, Hope grows where silence breathes in peace. A textbook opens, a blank page awaits, The world outside begins its slow spin. Warm ceramic rests between steady hands, Guiding the focus to what lies ahead. The rain slows down to a gentle mist, As the day claims its quiet purpose. Each hour unfolds like a promise kept, A fresh beginning, ready to start.

Each line, like the ease of the morning, to sip and look over! Ahh…
