Ice fell and coated
Every surface of my world
The hush grew longer, deeper
I am isolate
Desolate
Alone
In this quiet moment
Here within this home
The lights are soft and gentle
The warmth is true and whole
My spirited lifted slowly
From the center of the room
Inhale exhale slowly
Calm and peace are found
My heart is opened further
My mind is weaving pictures
Of a life that could be mine
I await in this quiet moment
For the end of desolation
I let go of all impatience
I wait a moment longer
In the silence
Then begin my day
Intentionally intentioned
The quiet moment holding sway
