THE SILENCE THAT WHISPERS


Peaceful as a frozen lake by a quiet winter's dawn 
still as the silence that whispers to us, like a fawn 
Drawn to the air in our lungs as we gently engage  
side by side in a world of great love, rock of Age

Let us fly like birds through a world of pure joy
where beauty and grace are virtues we deploy    
Let us live here as one and always keep pace  
with a heart that is pure, set always in place 

Composed as the Sun when it beams on the snow
with a linger of solitude and a trace of afterglow 
Quiet as the stars of heaven that exude n' shine
late at night in the sky as it turns , red to wine

Let us embrace and exist as we breathe in the calm 
clothing our thoughts with a drop of  sweet balm
Let us arrive by the rivers of brave and swim free 
just like the fish in the sea who know how to be,
 
peaceful as a frozen lake by a quiet winter pond,   
still as the silence that whispers to us at dawn.
