Nothing’s happening
Yet everything is here Now
I breathe in silence.
I wait in silence
For a small sign from above
To take the next step.
The day goes to sleep
Never to wake up again
Blue silence remains.
Life crafts miracles
In the silence of the night
I trust and exhale.
When the night is born
Out of the last light
The day’s comings and goings
Are recycled by the mind
The words used and the silences
The doings and the neglects
All scrutinized by the heart
But abandon the judgment
Let go of the unforgiving criticism
Set your mind on a path to learning
Kindle the light of forgiveness in your heart
And let your soul dwell in the peace
Of the night just born.
Clouds gather at night
The day’s drama repeated
Dreaming of sunrise.
Dawn of a new day
Frenzy or serenity
It’s all up to me.
Embraced by nature
Heart skating on the calm lake
Quiet summer night
Thoughts dropping on the mirror
Reflecting peace in the soul.
Water’s edge at night
romance blooms in the moon light
just the two of us.
I’ve seen many men come and go
and women with children in tow
four generations or maybe more
haven’t kept count, head’s a bit sore
years turn to decades far too fast
seems everything is in the past
but I enjoy my days one at the time
you see, I don’t worry, nickel or dime
I greet every sunrise with grateful mind
to see a new day is a gift of a kind
I use it well, bless you, to leave my mark
at night fall I’m not afraid of the dark
when I go to rest in the moonlit night
my mind is at peace and filled with light.
