Sitting quietly
at the cottage
clock ticking
fridge humming
no other sounds --
a cup of coffee beside me,
calm lake
all is still.
I just want to bottle this up --
take this all in --
hold this in my heart --
for those busy days,
those anxious times,
when I'm feeling fretful,
ungrounded,
anxious,
far from calm
or quiet
or peaceful
or zen
Peaceful morning --
zenlike peace
Sitting quietly --
All is still
I am still.
