two suns this morning
one rippling in the pool
one blazing in a warm sky
citrus blossoms mix in a breeze
that sifts through my arm’s hair
birds are quiet as I lay back
life offers these moments
when most of its motors
slow to an idle or stop
and in the listening quiet
my soul’s tank slowly fills
with a sweet peace
close your eyes
and wait till it stops
or keep them open
if you want to figure out
who’s pumping
today’s silence
