Sitting quietly, <br />All is well, <br />Way past midnight, <br />Who can tell, <br />Will tomorrow, <br />Bring respite, <br />Cold and windy, <br />Darkest night. <br /> <br />Sitting quietly, <br />By my screen, <br />Read some poems, <br />Never seen, <br />Telling stories, <br />Ringing bell, <br />Cast a coin, <br />Wishing well. <br /> <br />Sitting quietly, <br />All in bed, <br />I should rest now, <br />Weary head, <br />Work tomorrow, <br />Weekend looms, <br />Time for shopping, <br />Cleaning rooms. <br /> <br />Sitting quietly, <br />Home alone, <br />Turn off TV, <br />Ansaphone, <br />Hear a message, <br />Call back soon, <br />Come tomorrow, <br />Afternoon. <br /> <br />Sitting quietly, <br />Silent thoughts, <br />Quiet contentment, <br />Can’t be bought, <br />Busy schedule, <br />Day by day, <br />How time quickly, <br />Flies away.<br /><br />Linda Harnett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sitting-quietly/
