A figure of peace

On first waking
On a chilly, wintry, dark morning
When haste waits for the panic
To rise with the alarm of a workday
It is good to pass
A figure of peace ~
A gentle reminder
That it can exist
~
And when night meets the pain of weariness
It is good to pass
A figure of peace
Again
~
