~Nat King Cole Morning~

 My Morning

you were asleep

steady breathing

A sighing

lullaby


this morning

belongs to me

the quiet

patches of light

and the shivering

of trees 

outside my window

the steam

from my coffee

circles around me

in a secret smile


Nat King Cole’s

Christmas song

pistachio and lemon biscotti

tart and sweet

bring me back to simpler times

before the chaos


this is music

the wrap-a-round rift

of heightened emotions

his raspy velvet voice

Golden toffee 

makes you feel love

And soften


Sarah Mahina Calvello
