I awoke one autumn morning to silence, nothing and no one around
Not a breeze in the air, no movement on the ground
All was still and silent
The multicoloured leaves on the trees pull your gaze upwards
Providing a backdrop for the clear baby blue sky above
All was still and silent
Curls of smoke from chimneys like fingers reached for the sky
The sun was slowly climbing on the horizon casting about its rays
All was still and silent
Suddenly, the alarm clock goes off and you get out of bed for the day
Work is inevitably on the agenda with no time for rest, relaxation or play
What must I do today?
