the world embraces me with silence

the horizon is motionless in its red and purple hues snow-topped mountains are shushing us with silent lips the immobility of this presence does not hesitate to bring stillness I look into the water’s depths; all the wildlife must be sleeping there is not one tiny splash; this well-worn dock placates me this is a place for eagles, but no bird is flying; the air is soundless a meditative place, a Zen place where I could sit and emote so I do, crossing my legs on the edge of the dock, stilling my soul a tiny breeze barely whispers her secrets onto my face; I smile feeling all-powerful in this sacred place, loaned to me by the Master thoughts I could have never conjured anywhere else come to me I begin to solve my tiny problems as the world embraces me with silence.
