Sunday slowly descends onto the balcony,
A boat of sunshine on the clothesline.
An old song on the radio thumps on the tin,
The cat yawns, writing down the map in his sleep.
I cut off the chase from the calendar today,
Spread the unfinished silence on the table.
Warm clouds in a cup of tea, a small river in steam,
The wind fills the pages of a book.
The city is roaring outside, the soft sun inside,
The hands of the clock learn to walk like little feet.
I stop for a minute and see that everything is fine,
Who knew that there would be so much peace?
The sun draws a light signature on the window glass:
Today's lesson is to be slow and be destined.
