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
