A Gentle Morning

Morning quiet settles like a lovely light shawl
Keeping me warm and gentled, the crying and cawing of distant crows 
counterpoint to silence and peace
while morning movement unfolds spontaneously
carefully sensing purpose and desires
until the shawl is set aside in exchange for the world outside.

“Quiet is a blessed gift. In this frantic world how we must cherish 
every moment of it, and carve it our for ourselves every chance we get.
~ Anne Ortlund
