Awake early to catch a glimpse
Of immaculate silence
Untouched
Without breath
Missing the chatter
That goes along
With obligatory words
Unleashed from beeping
And buzzing
And banging
No one outside
No one at the door
Those in the house
Quiet as a mouse
Then the alarm
And the banging
And buzzing
Remind me I’m alive
The earth has returned
As it was yesterday
Grateful for my moment
Of silence
Amazed at the bounty
Of noise
So happy to hear
Little words
