Silence is an Ocean – Rumi. (WPC Five Images)

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.

Half-Light

I observe
Amazed and in disbelief
The half-light of my reflection
I wander
Between dream and reality
Until my heart finds answers
And I seek
Full light – nothing less
Until my soul finds contentment.

Monday Musings: Between the Storms

Fresh air tingles on my skin. I smell the rain drops still lingering on the grass.  Vibrant green.  Perky. Reaching up and up.  Stretching toward the little bubbles of white in the blue. Respectfully. In silence.

Waking up. Living fully. Present here. Growing with every ray of sun. I breathe. I feel the trees inhale and exhale. I hear the birds sing. I see the face of the wind. And I touch Life. Briefly. Quietly. Between the storms.
