A Quiet Morning Poem by Rowena Velasco

A Quiet Morning

It's early;
The temple roofs are quiet,
Clouds cross the sky,
slow enough to notice.

Below, rows of marigolds--
bright, crowded,
just being there
without any ceremony.

The lamp posts stand there:
White,
unchanged,
used to mornings like this.

Nothing asks for attention.
The morning stays…
I stay with it
a little longer.
