If I go to the great mountain
Climb just enough high
Find just the right spot
With just the right view
The perfect warm sun
With the perfect cool breeze
The fragrance of the lilies around me
As the air settles in a hush
Sit down just so
And close my eyes slowly
And take one deep breath
Hold it in just a second longer
That pause right there
Is enough
Except I can be there right now
On the side of the road
In the swirls of murky air
With the buzzing of humanity around
Cloudy dark skies
Sweltering heat
The air hangs heavy
I can still close my eyes
Take one deep breath
Hold it a moment longer
And then that pause
Is enough
I have arrived
Home again
Elusive Silence
