I Am Stillness

The sun shines through the window
of my loft as I sit at my desk.
Downstairs, silent and the cat
runs up the stairs to me
Sunday, a day off from work.

Sunday, a day off from work
my many lives come back to me
cleaning himself, the cat
as he sits in front of the desk
a world outside my window.

A world outside my window
I see a fresh fall of snow from my desk
wandering around the room, the cat
a moment of inspiration for me
as I gaze outside the window.

As I gaze outside the window
a life of recollections speak to me
and I take time to remember that
times of serenity are best
when the sun shines through the window.

    I awaken
    to winter
    reflections
