Peace Be to the Morning

with thanks to Joyce Odam 

peace be to the morning
thread of light
winding
the gray
pad of cat paws
returned
from dark’s sly-foot hours 

peace be to the morning
household still
tea steam fragrant 

birds have sung dawn
since deep of night
my freshened body
sinks back in the chair 

the sun slides
over the stream, the land
peace be to the day
