Stillness
I sit here looking at the burnt orange sunset
Reflecting off the flat pond
I am no painter with a brush and easel
My thoughts paint the scene
My words color it
May it be dark or light or somewhere in between
Still, I look at the stillness
I envy the quiet in this moment of dusk
To see peace and never have it
Like tempting you with the sweetest delicacy
Only a centimeter away and still never allowed to have it
Even the birds are quiet in this reflective peace
Engulfing you in the serenity

You touched your soul in the stillness and for that you discovered that even stillness is changeable.
Lovely descriptive poem🙏

Dear F,
I really enjoyed the romance and vivid imagery you painted with words. It created such a zen moment of rest and beauty for me. H🌷

I think many underestimate stillness - the peace and quiet it brings.
Love this piece and the serenity it brings, dear Fia 💕

Calm musings, serene like when silence is seen in the limpid lake, reflecting the suns warm twilight..moments of peace in nature's embrace can never be found elsewhere even with a wealth paid.Hamid

The form kicked ass.
You aired out this beautiful emotion, and then turned it into a brief emotional waterfall, and it just magnified the intensity.
Really kickass piece!
