Silence drowned by brash noise and sound
when mind wallows in shallows of din
’tis best then to retreat within
in nature’s lap inner peace I found
gentle murmur of rustling leaves
birdsong a soothing refrain weaves
quietude; nothingness around
breathe deep, relax, calm your senses
let go of all mental fences
gratitude and deep bliss abound
no intrigue, no suspense; just calm
accepting flaws without a qualm
being alone, a feeling profound
solitude is the place to be
when I am in touch with just me.
Silence drowned by brash noise and sound
in nature’s lap inner peace I found
quietude; nothingness around
gratitude and deep bliss abound
being alone, a feeling profound!
Written for dVerse MTB. Today’s host, Björn has asked us to write a Constanza.
Love this one!!
