Best Quiescent Poems

You drifted into my ambience, on a light summers breeze 
  I'd never seen such perfection, carried with so much ease
  We barely interacted, though our eyes may just have met
  Quiescently touching my heart, a moment I'll never forget

Quiescent

Snowfall resonates in unison’s octaves,
 In low tones of falling flakes’ pink vibrations,
Waterfalls of snowflakes in gentle billows
Pulse in halcyon – 
The resting heartbeat of dozing snowflowers.  

Feathery gifts from the unselfish heavens,
 Unhurried stillness
  Hushed drifts,
 Suspended between half light and...

“Activity makes my life colorful. To be quiescent is relaxing, but when it prolongs, I feel I am dead.” – By Poet



Day after day passes
With rarely a purpose to fulfill
Thoughts after thoughts flit,
With nothing to hold in memory.
I am stuck on the lonely highway of...

In a world over burdened with heartache and despair
there are moments when I find life too difficult to bear.
I long for a sanctuary; a quiet place of tranquil repose.
A cabin in the mountains where no one else ever goes
Or a placid valley where my nearest...

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted,

The quiescent oaks shiver in the cold
Their fugacious leaves blown away in the breeze
February will you bring me closer to spring bold
If anyway possible would you please

Now the susurration of winter's wind
So different from sighing of the pines
How I long for angular sun's warmth, my...

The night enlightenment in with quiescent stage
Of nature, refining gracious and endless age.

Shadows dance rhapsody round slumber's existence
As evening due settles discreetly some distance.

A vision, a red velvet rosebud of beauty
a subtle sweetness scent, sensual, and fruity.

Spring breast  inner quiescence echoes ebullient,
Nature's reverence favorable...

Oh, how I love a peaceful summer day
when trees are still, and fields of grass stand tall.
In tranquil air, the bird songs drift away-
in tunes so clear, I'm lulled with every call.

Oh, how I love the hush of Autumn time
when gold and rusty hues paint...

Still shallow waters,
Fish unseen, hugging the brackish bed,
Salt grass and saltwort give ample shade
And shelter from hungry predators 
That fly around the insurmountable 
Pinnacles of the surrounding hills.

The lad sits quietly on a small wooden pier,
Mulling on thoughts that elevate his soul.
No vale of darkness...

The cold wind cuts through like sharp swords
The quest for shelter reveals closed doors
When will the pain end and the world see the thaw of spring
When will the birds begin to sing

Life has come to a standstill in this tundra frozen
Leaves clinging to trees in...

Coffeehouse aromas
suffuse senses, dissolving 
any semblance
of time.
Unsolved problems
melt away in a
conscious uncaring,
and the day slips, unnoticed.
Deep in a forest
serene daydreams pour
gently over a secret waterfall
into a moss-fringed pool, 
a peaceful place.
My calm immersed, 
I hear only the
soft, slow whisper 
and smooth syllables of
a single word.

Tryouts starring musical prodigies

Up the polished ceiling above my bed
In my bedroom resting for a while,
A camouflaged lizard crawls his webbed feet
With dead silence in his spider tongue
Hunting a fly nearby in languorous mood
So unconscious of to-be catastrophe
Bony spine of mine chills enough
To freeze my whole body like...
