Not
a sound
can
be heard,
except
the wind’s
whisper
through the
evergreens
and an
occasional
chirp
Peace
flows
through
my
veins,
masking
any sliver
of concern
holding
me
in
chains
Fragrance
renews all
senses,
shifting my
state
of
mind,
releasing
any
tension
Gratitude
embodies
my heart,
with
my love
beside
me –
mesmerized
by
lakeside
beauty
and the
melody
of silence

You’re right, Ian, so it’s nice to have these times where we can escape and enjoy the silence and nature. Can’t wait for next year now. 🙂 Thanks so much for your comment!

Thanks so much, Mihran! We were in a beautiful place where inspiration flowed.
A suspension in stillness, in peace.
It was such a beautiful place that I became inspired, Ben. Thanks for your comment. I’m ready for that silence again…
Look within and I am sure you will rediscover it. We carry it around with us and only need to cease all the business that distracts us..
…and turning off the news would be good, too. 😃
Definitely. I stopped watching/listening to that toxin many years ago.
I can control it at home, but not at work. 😊
They have the “news” on at work! How awful.
News radio 🙂
You have my sympathy, Lauren.
this is sincere and beautiful words!!
Aww, thanks, Mihran! I’m honored to receive two complements on this poem from you. 🙂 Have a lovely Sunday!
