The quiet slow throb
Of a resting butterfly wings
As if in rhythm
With a heart that sings
The silent rise and fall
Of the ocean’s tide
Matching the moods of the moon
To seek or to hide
The silent slow descent
Of a leaf from the tree
Carried by the wind
To rest in eternity
The quiet settling
Of a snowflake on the ground
To melt into the earth
As if lost love found
The silent glow
Of the coal smouldering bright
Heading towards ashes
Knowing what is right
The silent eternity
Before the next breath in
Carries the wisdom of all time
All within
Make me that silence
Reverent and free
A simple quiet pause
Let me just be
Elusive Silence
