    Mourning (From My Apartment Stoop)

    Stretched, smoked, and stepped outside
    into serene simplicity of my apartment stoop.
    I am here to greet the sun that already
    smiles upon me.
    It's funny; you hear things here
    that you usually don't hear.
    Like silence or more stillness-
    That feeling you get when you can become it.
    Rays from the sun sinking into your being
    and you can sense LIFE!!!
    You can taste it, feel it, see it
    You can hear the breeze and whir of passing cars
    and still hear the quiet behind it.
    I can smell the little basil plant that
    I keep on the window sill
    and smile. I have become it.

    What a window into your life you have created here. I like it. We should all have an apartment stoop to go to to find "it".

    This poem brought me to the stoop - thanks.
