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.

loved the tranquility of your words. I especially liked: "muted trees of valor stand still in grace." Of course, I like the title :-) Glad you could use it. I found this poem soft and quiet, like silence itself. Have a blessed evening, hugs, Sara
