Whispering Reassurance

~Deana J. Tavares

The dawn arrives

Newer than new

Glasses upon the table

No one’s looking through

A tea mug

Rests

Waiting to be sipped

Sunlight slashes

Across floorboards

Luring toes

To gently dip

Cold reverberates

Through

Sturdy walls

The silence calls

Out to her

If you jump

You will not fall
