In the Silence of the Morning

By Peter Duggan

In the silence of the morning
When air is soft, and still
There’s a kind of mystic feeling
Oh, the way it makes me feel!
I just want to be in silence
So I sit and close my eyes
And look into my ‘me’ ness
And let it make me wise.

It doesn’t matter what the weather
How the moon it be, outside
If it’s raining, if it’s snowing
I open my heart wide
Which leads me to the looking
That I’m always going to do
That has taken my persona
And created me brand new.

In the silence of the morning
My eyes all closed to light
I let the light come into me
And I feel it, though so slight
The tiny mystic whisper
That is ‘me’ and always will be
In the silence of the morning
I am looking straight at ‘me’.
