Still Morning

Inspiration

A quiet still morning in a semi clean house and a brand new candle can lead to a lot of things, including, a few new scribbles.

Warm and cuddled on my couch

In the crisp fall air

In my sunlit great room

With the sound of planes wizzing by overhead 

and cars on the otherwise quiet streets on a still Sunday morning

Coffee and whisky scented candle flickers in the background providing no extra warmth 

but the smells waft up my nasal cavity and it is pleasing to my soul

Faint suggestions of last nights happenings strewn about…

A book, a poem, covered dinner rolls, a cup of forks…

The kettle whistle’s its call

A cup of tea?

To add honey or not

Honey.

Just a spoonful

A sweet treat

A gift from the bees

A dip, a stir

The ritual of it all and then

Patience my dear

Don’t burn your tongue

Be still 

On this still morning

Planes wizzing overhead

Whisky and coffee smells wafting up your nostrils 

now joined by cinnamon and apple ahhh autumn and the crisp air 

This still morning

Now take a sip.
