Serenity

Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset ~ Saint Francis de Sales

Muted light, calm sky

Swaying gently in open waters

The soul communions with the quiet

 

No need for words,

The silence holds everything

A truth too tender for sound

Nicely written. I noticed that you used "communions" rather than "communes," a small difference, but yours "rings" better poetically and coveys a more religious feeling which suits the poem much better, at least for me.
Quite nice.

Flatdaddy, thank you for this very kind comment. I really appreciate it. Nature is my church and I seek these moments every chance I can.

So should we all.

"The soul communions with the quiet." The scale of this extraordinary line says everything. No other words are needed.

Quite a beautiful meditation here. Indeed, if we could achieve stillness and silence, we might see the way out of all our problems.
