Pre-Dawn Peace

I cup the morning
quiet much as I hold
my breath on
the inhale: close,
rare, anticipating
opening doors,
feet on stairs
signaling the slide
to the day.

Peace...

Listen Up!

Sometimes
my children
actually hear
what I say
like tonight
over fish
sandwiches
when the son
hugged the
daughter,
and said
sorry.



Namaste...
