Not One Word


Silence
The sweet rhapsody of quietness
Sit back and savor
the music of the void,
where no dissonant voices are heard
It's so relaxing in this soundless realm;
break not the peace, speak not one word
Stay muted,
let all unspoken thoughts flow within
a serene state of mind, cascading down
into a calm stream of consciousness
No discordant utterances echoes through this vale of tranquility
The absence of strident, background noise
causes
          the ears
                      to fall
                               sound asleep
Not one disturbing word to be heard ...
There is only blessed silence
floating around you as you dream deep,
thinking of me,
in the heart of the night
This is as it should be

Adding to my fav list as this describes my hours when I trek deep into the woods to be alone and enjoy the solitude and communing with Nature. Which a couple times a year I have to do-to get away from this maddening fast pace world!

Another masterclass by a great poet! I love the use of language especially the personified ear that falls asleep when the background noise is absent. Readily in my fave. A 7.
