Quiet

Silence collides with a rambling thought Then settles down like falling snow No sounds echo to disrupt The peace that pervades, As I settle in to read a book Tucked away in a quiet nook ~

"A rambling thought settles down like falling snow." A cozy moment, indeed. You words curl around me like a soft blanket, and I'm enjoying the calm. My best to you, Joseph. :) Hugs, Brandy
