In Quietness Divine

in quietness divine
   the xanthous zephyr balm
      a citrusy ascent
         to sip on Summer’s tea
            a lovely day is spent

               in quietness divine
         a fine fettle of dreams
      the fantasy, a soak
   an Autumn bath of leaves
the stately sigh of oak

in quietness divine
   by brandy quell of warmth
      the crunch of hooves in snow
         a pen and paper touch
            and subtle shade aglow

                    in quietness divine
               calm wings with songs enchant
            all Spring is kin of dawn
      behold a lake with swans
pink petals on rose lawn
