The Poem Within Me This Morning Is A Quiet Poem Poem by Shalom Freedman

The poem within me this morning is a quiet poem
It does not have to rush anywhere
It can rest its eyes
By gazing calmly
at the yellow- green sunlight
on branches and leaves-

It can simply wait
And smile shyly at whatever strangers appear-

A quiet poem is its own justification
A life may be like this sometimes also-

Sit wait rest contemplate enjoy,

The whole world out there is a peaceful dream
One need not run to or away from.
