LOST SILENCE


Trees sway against the mossy landscape 


Clear water ripples amongst the lotus flowers


Embraced by the comforting beauty


In this garden of tranquility 


I sit here seeking to write poetry 


Nearby, in a temple by the brook 


A little boy rings an ancient  bell 


People come and go in reverence 


As the mountain air reverberates  with the lost silence 


Deep within


Stillness remains !







STILL REVELATION


The ancient cedar croaks with every step  


The mountain behind stands tall 


Thoughts and trees merge 


Ideas vanish in silence 


All seeking ends here 


All findings cease 


As the water fall sets the tune 


And stillness plays as music


Nothing more can be said 


As all is revealed in this  very moment !
