The silence was broken

like a million shards of glass

crashing to the floor, the sound,

deafening, making it impossible

to concentrate, on any given level.

Sadly, I realize the only escape,

is across the room, and once again

as I am drowning in the noise,

I reluctantly sigh, knowing

with one simple movement, I

can shut out the world just by

closing my door.

The storm raged
thunderous explosions
like the Fourth of July
without its colors
rattled windows
dislocated, limbs fell
against the glass
or did they knock
asking me, to let them in
shelter from the battle
I don’t know, shades drawn
lights out, I could not see
seated in the darkness
only my shadow reflected
on the wall, as lightning
danced across the skies
illuminated, then black again
ice pellets, echoed,
the noise, like machine guns,
ravaging the night, a hunter
claimed his prey
then unexpected silence
the only sound heard
was the peaceful rain,
gently falling.

a truce…………

sunbeams
The soft whisper

Of a silent hello

Filling my ears

Calling out to me

Letting me know

In this place filled

With so much pain

And confusion, that

You are still here

A comfort in my world

Until we meet again

In yours….

The Hush of Twilight
Before the day ends

When still waters reflect a calm

Where a hush can be heard

Tranquility whispers softly

Until the twilight hour begins

And darkness reigns again

seaside-1149523_960_720
Adrift, with the endless tides

Journeys, with no destination

Jagged edges, smoothed,

With the currents of the sea.

Oh what stories I could tell!

Stories, carried over the waves,

Stories, of a never tiring wanderer,

Stopping only for a short visit

Until the waters rise again

And carry me away…
