Silence 2

Still - I sit in the silence Thoughts slowing Colour warming from pale yellows to cadmium reds Wonderful sunsets happening gently Muscles relax into soft blue-green Sweet clean smells assail my nostrils Silken cords unloose my spine A burst of joy filters through my body Senses heightened I rejoice

As others have said , what a triptych. Each stands alone easily but explode when read together. Well done. Eamon
