The silence speaks
in haunting chants
shaking rafters with
thunderous prayers
embracing body and mind
with dark and tender
kisses of depth and solitude
I could float on
sacred thoughts and
drift the day through
to my island of quiet
my thoughts lapping at
unknown shores
and cresting to meet
the rocks of contrary
souls
enraptured by opinions
possessed by self
and uttered to no one.

hush of birds
nestle tree limbs
and gather warmth
in numbers
My eyes are blurred
with remnant dreams
that still wander down the
hallway of waking memory
The hush of mist
settles soft on verdant hills
angel breath breezes
utter sleepy salutations
Branches bow on graceful tree
and slumber under blankets
of filmy clouds
The world is empty
of busy noise and
surrenders to
avian chitters and secret code
