Deepest Calm

The wind howls like a beast untamed,
lashing and crashing,
a tempest unleashed,
a fury in motion.

Twisting branches,
leaves torn and tattered,
a frenzied symphony of nature,
in a chaotic ballet.

But wait.

The wind holds its breath,
a hush descends,
an uncanny stillness
amid the storm.

This is silence in 
the heart of the tempest,
a pause, a lull,
a whispered sigh.

It’s like sleep without a dream,
a peaceful absence,
a calming blanket,
a comforting embrace.

You feel it in your soul,
a quiet hum,
a subtle vibration,
the heart of the world
taking a gentle breath.

Even in the wildest storm,
there’s silence to be found.
And in that silence,
the deepest calm resides.
