Quietude

Listen. Can you hear it? Stay still. Deep silence you will hear. Watch sun sliding behind the hill. Can you feel God is near? This is my spirit’s food; with peace I am imbued in lovely quietude. As sun’s last rays glisten, can you hear it? Listen. Sept. 12, 2021 For Brian Strand's 'A STRAND (Dec 30)' Poetry Contest

Oh WoW Andrea. This is excellent. Absolutely love this and a fave for me. Reminds me of the quiet night walks I used to have with my dogs when they were alive in the wee hours of the morning. It was such a special time for us. Super job. Great emotion. God Bless, JB
