peace

Today I'm looking past the dirty house,
the piles of laundry,
the bills that have to get paid

Today I will sit in my favorite spot
with and old well worn blanket
some pillows; a cup of tea with some honey

Today I will sit and watch the birds nibble at my newly hung feeder
the sun barely filtering through the clouds, reflecting damp earth
drops of rain from the gutter

Today I will read; contemplate; talk with God
Because Lord knows I don't do it enough

I will sit; I will watch; I will hear silence
I will listen
