“There is nothing like the silence of the morning,” my ears whisper to my brain.
My empty coffee mug plays silently on the wooden table.
A java residue coats my mouth and my tongue whispers, “Appreciate your time alone.
your solitude, with only the voices of your thoughts.”
My paper plate, licked clean of butter and ricotta cheese, shines in the reflected light of
the early morning sun.
My stomach hears the silence and digests the words of a poem.
A poem entitled, “Love the Silence of the Morning.”
Thanks to the editors of “The Author’s Voice” for publishing this poem in the monthly
South Florida Writers Association newsletter.
