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 the every day sounds

creating a stillness everywhere

a white blanket

of cotton wool

all around 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

suppressing the sounds from my senses

a calmness from all the stresses

a white softness

of fluffy towels

comforting me this early morning.
