 Live the Moment: dVerse Meeting the Bar
.
Prompt:  sense all that is around you,
go to that peaceful place of writing,
and be present in the moment and write.
——————————————————
 .
When I turn off the tv
and see what the present moment
is like:
The house is quiet,
and peaceful,
 alone with my thoughts.
 .
I hear a “hum” like an old
fashion radiator giving off heat
and wonder
were it is coming from,
realizing, it is me,
what I hear is in my head,
but it doesn’t bother me…
steady and not too loud.,
quiet and peaceful,
I’m still alone with my thoughts.
.
I am very hard of hearing….
“deaf” one grand-child says.
I know there is traffic going
by the house,
but only if I look to see it.
Lunch was done long ago…
I can’t hear the microwave
“ding”
when I got distracted
“listening”
and writing,
time got away from me !
And it’s okay,
I won’t waste away
any day soon
.
Some days I can hear the click
of the keys as I type,
not today
just the dull tapping
of the space bar
at times.
.
So it is quiet and peaceful,
alone with my thoughts.
.
I look outside,
snow is still on the branches
and thru one window,
it looks like a bird has perched
atop the cross on the steeple next door.
Usually it is a seagull,
but today, maybe a crow as it is very
dark in color.
I can’t hear if the birds are calling,
or talking or fighting,
as it snowed and the windows
are closed today…
even if the windows were open,
I wouldn’t hear them…
who am I fooling !☺.
.
Another sound…
could it be the cat snoring ?
I get up and go over to where she
seems to be asleep,
and yes, it is her snoring !
.
All is well.
It is quiet and peaceful,
alone with my thoughts.
