Silence and Quietude
Alone climbed this hill,
Watching so still.
I overcame fears,
Of all I held of yesteryears…..
But up on this height,
A majestic sight……..
Cloud flooded skies,
A deep breath within me dries….
Tranquility!!! I feel you near,
Oh I could sail in the winds without fear.
My brown eyes held the stars to light,
Soaked in the reflections that rose with pristine delight.
Stillness of the moments I distinctly hear,
Drained from within me is life’s fear...
Stillness my vacant eyes munificently dart around to feel,
Blueness is sliding into night’s lap, an obtuse glow alights its appeal.
Calm waters come engulf my scorching mind,
Pour yourself in through my eyes, quench burning embers that you find.
Tranquility drench your serenity into me,
Happiness flake my skin and singe it with peace to be.
Now the simmering still waters seem uneasy,
No waves lash the shores lying calm and easy.
It seems that something has made it soporific,
Sounds of relenting roars subdued by fresh snow layered thick…….
Never ever the moon above has shined down so brightly,
I welcome its soothing light within me forthrightly.
No rushing water turning to foam,
Retreats then comes again from the mountainous whispering domes……
Oh Moon, Entwine your auric wings of joys around my heart,
Ooze from it pink flames, so darkness depart.
Edify myself with joys of life
Darkness gone, light piercing through like a sharp prudish knife.
Welcome to my body all joys and peace,
Let it override the ebbing forlorn to currents dwindle and decrease.
Alone, I now sit, in quietude drenched,
Content in myself and with no feelings wrenched.
Gratified….soothened…satisfied…pleased,
Relaxed…happy….at ease and contented……eased.
