Comes a Welcoming

My work week comes to a close today at 2300
11 p.m. In the world outside of scheduled walls
Each day full and rewarding
Some moments less so.

Standing still slowly in the morning
Bare toes curling into taupe pile
Feet rested and ready to move forward

   Mind not quite ready
         Lagging mere nanoseconds behind

Enough time to form the words
'move slowly into this new day'

In this new morning
The universe exists within measured steps
~ breadth of arm span

Distance from 
face cloth to face
tea kettle to coffee cup

Sunshine glancing off warm maple shine
another bit to welcome me to my dining room

Cheery faces of tiny violas turned to flowers, bushes and trees
any tiredness challenged and
smoothed away in the comfort of home.

“We will go far away, to nowhere, to conquer, to fertilize until 
we become tired. Then we will stop and there will be our home.”
~ Dejan Stojanovic
