silence

In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. 
Mahatma Gandhi


silence wraps around the porch
with a limitless view of the ocean
sends no person running

resting in the silence
one discovers soulscripts
those clear lines of grace

an attitude of silence
transcends the need
for perfect quiet

as sails are hoisted upwards
towards the morning sun-
as waves creep, mellow at low tide

as southwesterlies do not hide
their persistences, in the wake-
fulness of the dawn
