Silence Canopy

Silence inscribed on my ceiling

canopy of unheard words.

I listen and hear

soft sound in the stillness.

I touch a lonely pebble,

hear the faint messages

enveloped in tranquility.

Total release woven

in garment of peace,

whispering when

no one is there.

No echoes of my past

disturb my hushed mind.

Accepting my submission

to peace in bucolic place,

I float gracefully into world

of unimpaired spirit.

Roadblocks to sight and sound

are excised from periphery,

releasing calmness,

restoring my psyche.

I hearken to words

that are unheard

and soundless.

Silently, I release

yesterday’s sorrow,

enveloped in serenity

cocooned in solitude.
