Silent as the Grave
Been a while since I
penned a poem,
but what with all that goes on
in the world,
its nice when people can be quiet
for a while
and just get along,
Instead of making so much noise
to drown out the fear
of being as
silent as the grave,
while a quiet life is all that anyone really wants;
the path of dependable demure diligence
has many beautiful leaves left in its wake.

It takes two to tango, but any amount above one to be quiet in solitude; not sure how many it takes to silent tango though.

Well said. Have a hurricane bearing down on us. I expect I'll have much time in silent contemplation in the subsequent power outage.

It seems that even with all the technology and business of modern global life, nature still finds a way to get us to be quiet and alone for a while. I hope the hurricane hurries along and hardly harries anyone too forcefully.

Yes, you are right. Most of us need to spend more time sitting still. Maybe reading, maybe thinking, maybe just being....

True; life I not always about being a busy buzzing bee and sometimes simply about being, just like a flower on the wall.
