SUNDAY SERENADE






I sip my coffee, watch, listen.
Dogs run around smelling rabbits, quail,
the unseen.
An artful breeze plays chimes,
vibrations reverberate, penetrate
as a bird sings along
to music of my Sunday.

I get lost
for a moment
as if floating in the space
between words
where nothing and everything can be.
I love it there.

Then my dogs bark
as a car whizzes by,
my phone dings a text,
my husband is up, "Breakfast?"

Winking at a hawk that flies silently over my house,
I join the symphony.

  1. Ah, sometimes there are so many things that interrupt the stillness.....so much so that we eventually relent and join in!

  4. smiles...it is nice to be up before the music starts...to see the world awake...to stand outside of the song for a second in peace like that...and then of course to sing...smiles.

  5. I enjoyed your morning scene and felt as if I was a close neighbor, watching you from the corner of my eye before you disappeared to have breakfast.

  7. Myrna, we have the same wind chimes ! Dont they have a wonderful tone? I adore mine! Looks like a great sitting area there - though I long to peep over the wall and see the desert! I love that silent moment out of time, and then all the normal busyness jolting you back to reality....sounds like a lovely Sunday morning altogether. How you must love being home!

  15. Myrna, you've created an ideal setting for us to enjoy. First I experienced your surroundings through your eyes and soul, and then I thought of my morning place of solitude, and felt bliss and peace! Thank you for sharing your poetic talent. (I have chimes like yours, too! Plus a similar set that is LARGE, and a small set of shell chimes!)
