Hector Loves his Quietude
The prison cell was the best place Hector had ever lived
He relished his solitude
He had never had silence in a foster home or a group home
Hector was at peace
Glad to be here
Grateful for this quietude
Then he got a roommate

Quietude
Quiet are the hyacinths
Underneath the snows
Irises and violets
Even the red rose
Today are lying silent
Underneath the snows
Daffodils and lilacs
Even the red rose.

I Breathe the Beauty of Quietude
I breathe the beauty of quietude:
Solitary walks in parks or woods,
Foliage brushing against one’s feet,
Early morning sunshine through the trees,
With bird calls punctuating the hush.
I breathe the beauty of quietude,
Of cloudless skies and placid waters,
Of soft breeze blowing against one’s face
Or whipping perfumes among the flow’rs
Gently enough to not let them fall.
I breathe

Elusive Quietude
We dream of silence, pure and still,
A space where noise suspends its trill.
Yet in the void, a whisper still, hums,
For silence never ever truly comes.
In quietude, a heartbeat strums,
The pulse of life forever thrums.
Into such stillness, wily wind whistles will creep,
And drips of drops through cracks will seep.
The breaths we take, the sighs we weave,

Quietude in a Dream
In my dream ... I am swirling in circles,
lost in a wild turbulent vortex surge;
light flutters and pirouettes with sparkles,
and at last from the whirlwind ... I emerge.
I am in this secluded place hued green,

QUIETUDE
A pervasive state of stillness and calm
Respectful silence is maintained
No risk of anyone coming to harm
A sense of relaxation gained
Breathe deeply and it will begin
A quiet state both outside and in
Allows for gentle contemplation
A natural flow of inspiration

Lulled In Quietude
peaceful solitude
amidst flora and fauna
let the mood dally
until bluest skies go gray
and sky water gently falls

Quietude After Thunder
The sky edged at the hazy horizon, a solemn slate,
where the raucous cloud clumps on wings of storm ride.
For the sun to set for the dreary night they don’t wait,
unleashed, in rampant rage they well up and glide.
The opaque sky is shaken and shattered asunder,
deluge of moaning drops descends in

Quietude To This Floral Showcase
Singaphore’s Botanical Gardens shows off spectacular tropical flora
there is a quietude to this stunning verdant landscape showcase
my body releases a long sigh; I am motionless, calm and peaceful
unperturbed and unruffled, I wander appreciating the fragrances
no one can take my energy today; I am stress-free.
Glad my phone is off, so I can enjoy this sought after
