Stillness at daybreak.





The usual chaos of city life is silenced by dawn. 

Tension fills the air as the day waits to start.  

Crossing the street is undemanding because 

the crowds are still tucked into bed.

Shops wait to be opened. 

Stories wait to be read.

Words wait to be spoken.  

The aroma of incense offerings waits to be inhaled. 

Chai stands wait to welcome the early riser.  

Stillness at daybreak.

It's almost eerie.
