Silence

(SILENCE) Illusive silence--- evaporating in noise at rest in one’s peace. (SILENT SUNSET) The tranquil sunset--- in skies of sunlit silence waits for the morning. (GLIDER PILOT) Within sun-split clouds--- one inhaling scenic grace immersed in silence. © Harry J Horsman 2010

Silence Surreal direction of haiku - in a great performance. My Bulgarian friend-poet (who lives in Australia) spoke very negatively about Australian authors, but I'll point you to your poetry to change its view. And a little peace to my mind - for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az94E3RPB8w&feature=related
