Nary a whisper of a wind
contented clouds calming
with colors deep and many hues
The water still and quiet
is purple tinged, peacefully
mirroring a secret sky
The world sleeps silently
and yet captured here are these
words and image of beauty and peace
Keeping the turbulence of life
below the surface, the troubles
beyond the horizon
For we are fortunate to
know beauty, to know each
other and to know peace.

“ SILENT STREAM “
SILENT STREAM FLOWS FREELY UNDER COVER OF THE NIGHT
SWIRLING AND TWIRLING BENEATH SHADOWY MOONLIGHT
FISH GATHERING TOGETHER FROGS SLEEP ALONG THE SHORE
MORNING COMES JUST IN TIME LIKE EVERY DAY BEFORE
TURTLES MOVE ON SLOWLY RAPID WATERS FIND THEIR WAY
RIPPLES DANCING ON THE WATER TOO BEAUTIFUL TO STAY
RAINDROPS FEED THE STREAM WET THE THIRSTY RIVER BANKS
OVER AND OVER AGAIN NATURES WAY OF SAYING THANKS
SUN RAYS STREAMING DOWN CUTTING THROUGH THE CLOUDS
SHINE LIKE A THOUSAND DIAMOND RINGS COVERING WET GROUND
WARMTH STREAMS THROUGH MY BODY SEEING AN OLD FRIEND
TIME WITH SOMEONE I CAN BE MYSELF NOT HAVING TO PRETEND
THOUGHTS STREAMING THROUGH THE MIND AS IDEAS PAVE THE WAY
BUILDING ON THE PROMISES THAT WE MAKE TODAY
MUSIC STREAMING IN THE ELEVATOR AND THROUGHOUT THE STORE
OLD FAMILIAR SONGS MAKE YOU WANT FOR MORE
CHANGE NEVER ENDS TIME GOES MARCHING ON
ALL THAT’S NEW TODAY MAY SOMEDAY BE GONE
PEOPLE STREAMING CROWDED SIDEWALKS CARS CRUISING DOWN THE ROAD
EVERYONE PREOCCUPIED CARRYING THEIR OWN LOAD
LIFE COMES AT YOU FAST THINGS YOU CAN’T CONTROL
MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO STAND WHEN IT’S EASIER TO FALL
SWIMMING IN THE STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS QUESTIONS COME ALIVE
NOT KNOWING ALL THE ANSWERS UNTIL THEY ARIVE
Bill, Thank you for the connection, and your poem.
