Silence
I push through the brush to getto the silence
There is a trail that I want to end
so I push until I can push no longer…
until the growth becomes a wall
No more folding back the forest floor
No more whipping twigs of green noise
A hemmed in silence as I stand like a bush
I am as silent as ivy
Standing, breathing out dioxide
Creations green
After light
After sea
After all
Before me
Come silence and contain
Solitary not lonely
A tributary to the bosom of heaven
oh i love such moments Jerry - and you captured one with the most beautiful words

ReplyDelete"No more whipping twigs of green noise" - that is the best description I've ever read of walking through the underbrush.
ReplyDelete"Come silence and contain
solitary not lonely" - that is beautiful. Nature makes me feel this way, too - the original cathedral.
Beautiful poem, Jerry.
