Muffled World

Waking up to total silence
sense of bright deafness all around me
a world covered by a thick white blanket
that shines in through my bedroom window
muffling all the every day sounds
creating a stillness everywhere
a white cover
of cotton wool
all about me on this early morning

Stood on my back door threshold
surveying the white scenery that greets me
this world still wrapped in its duvet
that covers right to the horizon
auppressing the sounds from my senses
calmness from all the stresses
a white softness
of fluffy towels
comforting me this early morning.
