Sink into the solitude
lurking behind
a thin veil within
each blessed moment
Peace whispers, “I am here!”
Here now!
Here, here now
Hear now
Hear here now
The thin bell sound of awareness
sings only now
hear here now…
The crowd gathered murmuring
A cacophony of incessant cicadas
Washing the shores of awareness
Caressing thoughts like pebbles
On the wet sand
* * * *
Eyes closed, body eased
Seeking solace, silence
On the busy shore
And there – amidst –
One eternal moment of peace
Sunlight sparkles
off the tiny ripples
As I wade slowly
in the still and peaceful
pond of forgiveness
No jewel exists
more precious
or more beauteous
No gracious gift
more treasured
Hearts flutter like butterflies
