Strong 3 lines, Bill, that remind us meditation benefits the soul. Would that peace holds the world well. Sincerest regards always, Brian

Thank you for the visit and the thoughtful comment, Brian. It's always a blessing to me when I know others understand a poem of mine and many times know it better than I do. I want to congratulate you on having three of your poems published in Poetry Soup's latest Anthology! YEAH !!! Happy Thanksgiving, Brian. Bill

Bill, you write really well. You described a serene moment perfectly. Serenity is so calming that it may be overpowering, yet I find sanctuary in seclusion and silence. This Kimo poem moves me.

With all the chaos in the world these days, I cherish a quiet, peaceful moment. Thank for reading so many of my poems today, I know it's hard to read multiple poems by one poet. There are so many good poets here at Poetry Soup. Blessings my dear friend. Bill

Love is, as God is; there's really nothing else that matters. The Love in my heart sees the Love in your heart, Gina. Thank you for letting your Light shine. Love, Bill

Something about silence is so soothing, sometimes it can be overwhelming, but sometimes when overwhelmed too i find comfort in seclusion in silence, i really love this kimo. You are really good in kimos they flow so very seamlessly! To find peace is not easy, but if you find a glimpse of peace always hold it tight, and i think you would know better as you’ve seen and experienced so much of life for longer! Sending you and sara lots of light! My fave poetic couple ever! You both inspire me

You are so gracious and kind with your words to us. We sincerely appreciate the time and effort you put into supporting us and our poetry. I'll probably write more of these Kimos, they give me a few more words without making the poem long. I like the moments best when I feel what some would call an out-of-the-body experience. I seem to float through space and feel a complete oneness with the universe. It is so peaceful at times; I don't want to lose the feeling. I try not to interrupt whatever it is I'm experiencing. Hugs, Bill

We all search for peace, some find it, some struggle.. I wish everyone could achieve it.. sometimes we can find peace in the noisiest of places... your poems highlights how lovely it can be..

Thank you for being so observant, Silent One. I agree with you, it may be in silence, but it can also be with sounds. I can get lost in the power of music to take us deeper into an experience. Thanks for the visits and comments, my friend. Bill
