Storm blown ripples
line my weathered brow,
face a map of life’s journey,
of striving, disappointments
...

As our sun sets,
our moon,
a citrus segment,
halfway to whole,
...

This life,
this energy,
this consciousness,
we sense in
...

Just a moment.
Yes, a moment in time,
A moment in your day,
A moment in your life.
...

Sun rises on our anxious world,
Streams of light pass through trees,
to uncover a partial waiting scene.
Robin the day’s first sound, sings,
...

I look up into blue, blue heaven,
watching a cloud move slowly
drifting, floating, as it passes aimlessly
through the unique experience of

The page is blank, pen is poised.
Before time, before things happen,
there was nothing, save for a void,

Unseen natures, beauty, charm, style,
...

Our walk to discovery
was blessed, with a
silence wrapped in
music, the songs,

Before time,
before birth of
clocks, watches,

Butterflies, so quietly do you fly,
you have no song,
your wings do not creak or rasp,
you do not make a noise,

I hear the birds sing,
I feel the gentle wind
blow through trees
whose branches creek,

a nut within its shell,
A cocoon that holds a butterfly,

We must grow with silence,
Through the winter of our
Ignorance as we wait the
Spring of change, to grow

that time gone by,
memories of lovers,
broken hearts, those
