Silence

                                               silence

                                               staring into the depthless pool

                                               that is my mind

                                               watching the light

                                               reflect across the surface

                                               so still, so perfectly still

                                               so easy it seems

                                               if only I could

                                               hold onto the silence

                                               no, don’t move.

                                               here come the ripples

                                               the stillness broken

                                               and still you don’t stop

                                               until the glassy surface

                                               becomes a seething mass

                                               of crashing waves

                                               creating havoc over the

                                               precariously placed sea

                                               of thoughts, of dreams

                                               and hopes, all hidden

                                               safe in my mind

                                               relax

                                               breathe deep

                                               concentrate

                                               calm returns

                                               once more

                                               the surface stills

                                               and with it

                                               comes peace

                                               of mind

                                               and soul

                                               my spirit soars
