A dedicated day to calm:
A moment claiming to pour balm
On our troubled, noisy lives …
I ponder on this new sunrise …
Who, I wonder, thought this up?
Modern life is brash and tough
With constant buzzing of Smart phone;
Are any of us quite alone?
In Brussels old trams rumble past
Cars rev angrily and pass,
Aeroplanes growl overhead,
Barking dogs at night I dread.
Trucks change gears and blast their horns
In Autumn there are thunderstorms,
High-pitched children’s cries are heard
Their chatter deafening the birds!
So, all in all, it seems to me,
A day of peace and quiet should be
Added to our diaries now
As it’s overdue, somehow!
