Sunday

The simple sound of a kettle boiling

Often entices me down the stairs.

An intended lie-in is cut short

By the aspect of soothing earl grey

The sun is out, the birds are singing

So sweetly that I feel settled

The news in the other room

Discussing the world beyond my own

Simple conversation that is standard

But impossible to dismiss

The pondering over the grass cutting

Or if the sunflowers need attention

A classic Sunday morning in summer

Basic, yet also serene.

This is what I once experienced. Never again.
