The Dew Quiet The quiet falls, Dew formed in first light. A billion drops morning lit. A silent welcome. A morning reverie. A welcome, a welcome. The sun risen And dew drops fall, Cloud bound once more. And quiet persists. Waiting the next dawn, Until dew silent returns. _________________________________ There is such power in the silence of nature. Billions of dew drops condense and form as dawn approaches...yet not a single one is heard. Nor their demise, fallen and ab

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 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 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. 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 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 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 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

Winter Silence Stilled the winter wind Echoed peaceful distant view Silence sought and found #winter #silence #peace #calm #mindfulness

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

Silence Talks In a world of constant noise Let your silence do the talking #silence #noise #peace #calm #quiet #stress #relaxation #mindfulness

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 _____________________________ We are typically awake for anything between 12 to 18 hours out of a 24 hour

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. _____________________________ Whatever the weather, take time to pause

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 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 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 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 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 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 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
