The Beauty Of Silence

When I walk under the stars...
totally alone
is when I appreciate that silence...
has a beauty
all it’s own.

The miracle of life
begins in the silence of a womb...
In the silence of the sun’s rays...
the morning glory blooms.

The trees spend their lives in solitude...
silent sentries to us all...
In the frozen months of winter
silent snowflakes fall.

Silence can embellish
emblazon...
and console...
and where does love begin to flourish
if not the silence of our souls.

We begin our life in silent beauty...
and if we’re lucky we will learn,
To enjoy the silent beauty that surrounds us
Until...to silence we return.
