Muffled World

Waking up to total silence

a sense of bright deafness all around me

a world covered by a thick white duvet

that shines in through my bedroom window

muffling all of the daily sounds

creating stillness everywhere

a white blanket

of cotton wool

around me on this early morning

standing by my kitchen window 

surveying the white scenery that greets me

a world still wrapped in its duvet

covering all to the horizon

suppressing the sounds from my senses

a calmness from all the stress

a white softness

of fluffy towels

comforting me this early morning.
