Silent Symphony

(Title taken from Sara Etgen-Baker) In this little island before my house I hear not a sound not even a mouse muted trees of valor stand still in grace I think I almost won the race Tracks of history live here on this island I recall the day you took me by the hand nearer to forever I feel so content no leaf is stirring inside this tent A silent symphony plays on in my head needling my heart like pliable soft thread In this little island before my house, I hear not a sound not even a mouse.

Sometimes calm is all we need to flourish, glow and grow. Lovely written rose.
