By Catharine L., Belmont, MA
The earliest morning is
a piece of solitude
a bit of thoughtful quiet
a time when I can
wake up on my own terms
wake up to a breakfast I prepare,
however simple.
The cat sleeps in the next room - Sleep on!
The family sleeps upstairs - Sleep on!
I must wake you soon,
but for now let me sit alone
while a radio plays softly in the kitchen
and an uncomplaining book
sits open in front of me.
No real worries or cares
in my earliest morning peace,
private peace of solitude.
This piece has also been published in Teen Ink's monthly print magazine.
