woke up this morning from dreaming
didn't feel very well-rested
but smiled at the joke my dream told me
and then got dressed and went outside
everything was quiet and still
even the cars on the highway hushed
Wake with coffee. Dream left under my pillow; listen to your voice over silence, reflections of birds in night rain puddles and cement the day — toast to be made if I can find a piece of crust borrowed from the sleeping birds a preying reading Psalms , aside note to my day begins wondering what the last laugh was.
Why the phrase is “Peace and quiet” and not “Peace and sleep”.
