Dawn The routine Awake to a standing pause Before the wheel turns again Beans break the seal The fresh start of a new day Slowly grinding into movement This disturbance is accepted Its purpose is measured Against the quiet peace Deep berry-breathing oils the wheel Pale orange rays soothe the stiffness Inhale everything Milled dewdrops drip comfort Share the moment with an old friend You No words needed Just a nod between turns © 2019 MJL

The Miller’s Pause
Dawn The routine Awake to a standing pause Before the wheel turns again Beans break the seal The fresh start of a new day Slowly grinding into movement This disturbance is accepted Its purpose is measured Against the quiet peace Deep berry-breathing oils the wheel Pale orange rays soothe the stiffness Inhale everything Milled dewdrops drip comfort Share the moment with an old friend You No words needed Just a nod between turns © 2019 MJL
I love the quiet coffee time early, before the day begins. Either alone with with my love, just a pause before the new day begins. Time for introspection.
