Silence In the Wind

Close your eyes and imagine,
If you listen closely-
You can hear it-
The silence in the wind.
The swooshing sounds,
Breeze going by.
Can you hear it?
The fall of the water,
The chirp of the cricket,
The song of the bird,
The cry of the wild--
All silenced for 
A moment in time.
The silence that calms your heart,
Soothes your mind,
And comforts your soul.
The same silence of 
Relaxation--
The same silence of
Solitude and serenity.
It's in the sun,
It's in the clouds,
It's in the sky,
And in the stars at night.
It's in the air,
It's everywhere,
It's the silence in the wind.
