Emptiness
Emptiness
Took the empty path
Sinuous and soundless
Where trees parted
In the wordless forest.
The afternoon sun dipped
Among the branch lines
And leaf sparkled
Flashing in silence
Yet emptiness was nothing
In the presence of nature
For the world was alive
I had only failed to notice.

How often we look into emptiness, but fail to see the presence all around us.
An empty path in an empty forest. Never...no it is never empt

Night Memories
Night Memories
So come gather your memories
Swirling in the night air.
Await the stillness of dreams,
Where silence greets you.
Let the darkness be the canvas
For every colour past.
Peel back those saddening layers.
Expose the happiness buried beneath the grieving.
A dormant happiness,
Ready for reawakening.
Polish those memories to a glittering.
And reveal the healing.

When you live with grief, the sadness builds
in layers. It piles higher

Sea Silence
Sea Silence
Stood in sea quiet
The infinite waves calming
Repeated silence

There is no more peaceful experience than standing by a becalmed sea, listening to it's silence. #sea #ocean #silence #quiet #calm #peace #mindfulness

Share the Silence
Share The Silence.
Come, sit.
Share the silence.
Because silence brings memories.
Like wind songs, they never leave.
Some days they roar, urgent.
But on other days, they whisper.
Brought by silence,
Found in stillness.
Come, sit
Share the silence.
The memories will be here. #silence #memories #bereavement #loss

Reed Tales
Reed Tales
The reeds wind-whispered
A thousand water tales flowed
Then silence returned
_____________________________
A bike ride in late winter sunshine. A gentle wind and a clear afternoon sky.
A rest by the canal, a flotilla of ducks swam past marshalled by the resident pair of nesting swans.
The reeds rustled in the gentle breeze. Each breath of wind shaking new tales from the reeds, absorbed in the calm water.
I find such tranquility listening to the quiet

Where the Water Slows
Where the Water Slows
Find where the water slows
Passing in rippled silence
And peaceful reflection.
A mirrored quiet
Of light and sky.
Eddying calm
And tranquil,
Peaceful
Thought.
A poem of calm. We are all consumed with the rapids of life, churning, turmoil, stress, excess, overloading, overflowing, turbulence.
But we all need the still water and silence.
Find where the water slows and spend some time beside it. A canal side, a lake, a gently flowing stream or river, th

Peace in Ice
Peace in Ice
Peace
Silent arrives
Across the frozen
Ice formed on bitter
Night that turned to morning.
Awaiting the sun's return
To warming thaw,
Ice memories,
Remain.

There is a beautiful stillness and peace that arrives with the ice of a freezing night and emerges into morning light...as if sound is frozen too. #winter #beauty #landscape #quiet #silence #peace

Lost in the Clouds
Lost in the Clouds
I'm lost in the clouds
But you can always find me
In the silent rain

Sometimes you just want to hide from life for a while. What better place than the clouds. #silence #clouds #peace #quiet

Inhabiting the Pauses
Inhabiting the Pauses
The silence lays still
Inhabiting the pauses
Noise does not matter
Every sound must end
In a moment of quiet
Whether brief, silent
The pauses possess
The thoughts of mankind
The actions from noise
Stillness within pause
Bringing comfort from silence
Renewed strength to mind
Inhabit pauses
Welcome the calmness within
Noise lost and peace found

Weathered Peace
Weathered Peace
In my silence
The waves are not still
They do not notice me
In my patience
The wind blows harder
It does not see me
In my quiet tread
The rain falls unrelenting
It does not avoid me
In my peaceful thought
The cold does not relent
It does not pass me by
But my silence brings stillness
My patience creates calm
My footsteps are happiness
And my thoughts warm me still.

An Empty Bench
An Empty Bench
Budge up.
Let me sit
Here a while.
I don't need
To talk.
Or to cry,
Only to sit.
I won't breathe,
Just sit.
And watch.
And think.
And remember.
My silence
Is so loud
In my head
My thoughts
Shout and delight
At your memory.
I won't breathe,
As I watch,
And think.
And remember.
Budge up.
I'm here.

Find a bench. Sit in silence.
Their souls will come. And talk to you.
No bench is ever empty. It is full o

The Silence Of Sounds
The Silence of Sounds
I sat in silence
Listening to the wind
Rustling the reddened reeds
As the water trickled
In swirls and bubbles
Fishtail swish and grabbing mouths
Breaking the calm surface
And every quiet sound
Enhanced my silence
I sat in silence
And heard distant birds
Singing their final song
Before quiet unannounced departures
To the warmth of southern horizons
No fanfare call of tumultuous wings
Just gentle, graceful flight
I sat in silence
Sur

Silence In Water
Silence in Water
Let the silence
Of deep water,
Carry you
Drifting, drifting
In pleasant dreams,
To places you only
Ever imagined,
On those days,
When water
And warmth
And light
And air,
Were one.
Seamless
And pure.
Lost,
In total
Stillness.
Sinking,
In total
Silence. #silence #water #dreams #places

The Silence In Between
The silence in between,
The quiet voices, speechless
And thoughts poured into a void.
Emptiness consumes
And nothingness becomes our every thing.
The piano notes suspended,
Absorbed into still air
And each unfelt heartbeat pauses,
Before soft rhythmic play resumes.
Each breath inhaled to a silent crescendo
And held in blissful stop. Stop.
And we exhale the silence,
Listening to nothing.
Nothing is everything.
Life is lived in the beautiful pauses,
For life woul

Of Gulls and Sunset
Of Gulls And Sunset
The gulls swooped with the setting sun
And majestic rose on those final thermals
Soaring into evening sky
Where blues blended to orange and crimson fire
And the sun whispered its last warming breath
Welcoming its peaceful rest
And the gulls knew to fall silent
Their squawks and caws stilled, unheard
At peace with blackened sea
Night fell slowly, to the sounds
Of gentle waves, relentless, soft
And when at last all was quiet
The sea stilled too

Ocean Skies
Ocean Skies
Where the world joins
In endless ocean skies
And horizon calls
Those unfathomable depths,
Nothing exists.
Only a momentary calm,
Held by those stood in unbroken gaze
And the hearts that beat,
To gentle ocean rhythms,
As life surrounds
In constant ebb and flow.
Yet stillness is found
In the peaceful ocean sounds
And where the world joins
In endless ocean skies #ocean #sea #sky #mindfulness #calm #peace #tranquility #silence #stillness

Morning. Silent
Morning. Silent
Morning woke silent
The sun rising in quiet colours
And birdsong soft, whispered
Did not rouse the still sleeping
Morning woke and silence pervaded all thought
As river mist floated unheard
And rabbits ran soft of foot
Not a drop of lustrous dew displaced
Morning woke to calm reverie
And cool air hung motionless
Waiting to welcome warmth
As a fox darted, a glimpse of blurred ochre
Parting hedgerows with ne'er a sound
Morning woke tranquil, un
