Notes About The Poem

Time Stands Still

a Walk in-
the woods    with debussy's
prelude to the afternoon
in my ears

time    stands    still

the warmth of the sun
music echoing amongst trees
the chant
of songbirds

oh peace and tranquility embrace

the benedictine monks
of santa domingo
a     single     melodic note
sung in unison

I listen to the ocean surf
the wild
  cascading
    waves
      sweeping
        me away
in the voice    of nature
time
stands
still

meditation with bach and beethoven
mozart's concerto    shuman's     fantasy
the piano  enchants me
the violins take me away

I am oneness with earth
trees that     touch the sky   bring
serenity
tranquility

time    stands    still

morning elegance
  storms and wind and soft rain
    hidden mountain retreats
      enchanted meadows swaying

wild thunder    songbird serenades  
nightfall's cloak        wolves calling
hidden coves and woodland ferns
moss clinging and wild flowers growing
in meadows

blowing hair
      picker of buttercups 
                             daisies
dandelions
life is chaotic and confusing
                  I find the serene and peaceful
amongst ponds and streams
listening to classical music
                           oh listen to the loons
