Sitting on a counter
Tea
In an over sized cup.

Warming my hands
Observing the escaping steam
Cross-legged
I absorb every stifled sound

The rumbling of a dishwasher
The hum of a record that has ended
Peace
Can not be found else where.

The clock is a ticking reminder
But I disregard its concerns
Time
Can wait for a bit longer

Let my hair flow down
Finish the last of the tepid tea
7:47
A perfect moment in time

This is indeed a relaxing read. I appreciate those quiet moments, rare in a house with kids.
Great write, thanks for sharing. It's nice to read something cheerful.

A nice simple picture this paints, and well put-together. Excellent work.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
