Tranquility embraces –
the sun’s exit advances.
Listening to whispers
among the trees,
our time here is a gift,
and when we depart,
the gift will belong
to someone else.

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
