This week’s topic on sharingourstoriesmagic.com is quiet. The golden silence sets the tone of the day for me. No radio, no tv…..medicinal space for reflecting and writing. Solitude. Peace. Stillness. Coffee.

Quiet
the whirr of the fan
faint hum of the fridge
quaint strum of the heat
whispery paper turning a page
flutter of leaves
on trees
in the breeze
hush of misty
soapy shower steam
a snore of a snoozer
a schnoodle, asleep
the peace of the house
without any stirring
save for one spoon
in the coffee I’m swirling
morning solitude savored, fleeting
moments of peace
……..before workday greetings

I, too, relish the quiet moments when all I hear are little Snug snores. I never have the bedroom television on. It just sits gathering dust. This morning I’ll be out shoveling snow in the morning quiet. I love being alone w/ my thoughts and dogs.

Love how these two lines read and look on the page “the peace of the house/without any stirring” – this is my favorite time of day, too, that early morning quiet. So lovely.

Love all of this, but especially these lines:
“morning solitude savored, fleeting
moments of peace”
I savor morning solitude and the peace that comes!

Kim, I savor moments like these. The sounds of things before the world awakes. The breathing of a sleeping dog – utterly peaceful. All in all, a balm to the soul. Sweet, sweet peace, softly stirring like that morning coffee – love this, all of it. And welcome to SOS ❤

I love the swish of alliteration in this and the peace and quiet joy that permeate.
