The acrostic form gives your longing for tranquility and peace a clear shape. Birds singing, morning sunshine, and a rose-patterned mug create a warm, comforting scene, while the contrast with the noisy world adds heartfelt depth. Congratulations on POTD well deserved.🌹❤️

Dear Paula, Congrats my friend on POTD! We often look for tranquility in grand retreats, distant mountaintops, or complex meditative systems. Yet, that peace is found in the immediate, unpretentious "now" sitting in pajamas, holding a warm cup, and letting the day begin without immediate demands. Tender, grounded, and beautifully calming work, Paula. Blessings, Daniel

Paula, I imagine an acrostic is a long time in thoughtful development. This poem smoothly transits the awakening of a day including not only the cup of tea (Lyons, I would guess), but the awakening of the heart’s concerns. You share hints of your heart and its response against the day’s troubles. Very nice piece, very relevant choice of poem’s focus. Congrats on POTD recognition. Frank Daub
