Yawning
                            Stretching
Tired feet,
                                eyes half open
In need of sleep.
                             Early morning
Darkness awoken
                                     Light still sleeping
Quiet  morning
                          People still asleep
To early
                              Time to rest
Now back to slumber
                                         Now back to sleep.

the delicious silence
forms tucked away
in beds
dreaming sleeping dreams

the town silent
dark
only the night
shift toils away

and even they
sleep

the sky hidden
by a blanket of clouds
rain paused

a peaceful heart
breathes in
deeply

thoughts abated
warm messages
waiting

an army of wonderful
humans
reaching out to
one another

bringing love and joy
into a little corner of another
part of this little
planet

she spins
out in space
green and blue and white

dear dear Mother Earth
so small when seen from above
so huge when seen from below

peals of laughter ring across her
sobs of sorrow water her

ever there
ever here

we are all one
here on this little
spinning rock

wake up and
be the love
be the light
be the compassion

simply be
in peace
in stillness
in silence
in solitude
