Muffled This Morning – v6

The sounds caught
as if in a spider’s web
the world encased
as if in amber
within the lowered clouds
all sounds within their grasp

Muffled this morning
the world slow awakening
pulled from our cocoon
our hibernation
the mist of the morning
silencing the dawn

The world awaking
through a curtain, emerging,
as if through cotton batting
the air pregnant, thinking,
muffled this morning
so slow to awake

Pembroke Village School

and the quiet this morning
because of the rain
