In silence I gaze upon still
waters
holding an envelope of hopes and dreams
blue heron watches from marshy quarters
the clock strikes three all is not as it seems
In silence, birds sing I am not alone
fresh ashes symbol of my intentions
a journey quest into the vast unknown
slow rhythmic breathing releasing tensions
In silence, I blow kisses to the wind
carrying my voice on the wings of change
honoring visions , mother nature grins
aligning thoughts a time to rearrange
seven messages, words drawn from the heart
in silence I sense calmness, a fresh start
holding an envelope of hopes and dreams
blue heron watches from marshy quarters
the clock strikes three all is not as it seems
In silence, birds sing I am not alone
fresh ashes symbol of my intentions
a journey quest into the vast unknown
slow rhythmic breathing releasing tensions
In silence, I blow kisses to the wind
carrying my voice on the wings of change
honoring visions , mother nature grins
aligning thoughts a time to rearrange
seven messages, words drawn from the heart
in silence I sense calmness, a fresh start

Thank you for your kind words..
DeleteWonderful sonnet.. And I know well how you can find peace so well - standing by the pond and connecting with nature.
ReplyDeleteHi Bjorn, there is peace in that connection..
DeleteI like your sonnet, Truedessa. Silence and peace of mind are often necessary before new steps can be taken.
ReplyDeleteGabriella that is so true..
DeleteIn silence, so many beautiful things can take place. It is only in silence that we can appreciate such things as the birds singing, for example. And so true that in silence we can return to inner calmness & give ourselves a fresh start. This is a wonderful poem for this time of year, Truedessa!
ReplyDeleteMary,
DeleteOn this day there was a sense of peace and complete silence it was as if time stood still. I just breathed in the moment.
The silence can how us many things and not end up being silent at all. The ashes of writings blow to far off lands, new journey begun.
ReplyDeleteThe ashes blow into the wind a symbol of new beginnings..a journey of hearts.
DeleteWhat a lovely sonnet on quiet reflection ~ The ending couplet specially struck me ~ Hope your journey aligns with fate and mother nature, smiles ~
ReplyDeleteHi Grace,
DeleteAligning the best I can ...
This is so deep, Truedessa and is, I think, my favourite of yours. I especially love the coming with messages, and the aligning of spirit, as Nature grins. (How she must appreciate those of us who are trying so hard to hear and honor her.)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry, I knew my friend would understand this journey. It is hard when we try to honor mother earth and her call.
DeleteI feel the trepidation as we look for the fresh start and love the hope of those scattered ashes...releasing it all!
ReplyDeleteThank you Donna..the ashes are a symbol of release and hope..
DeleteThough there are a number of sounds in this, it still conveys the feeling of quiet and stillness. Thanks for posting and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteHi Peggy,
DeleteYou are welcome I enjoy visiting your blog.
Peace, silence, a fresh start... heavenly. Sign me up.
ReplyDeleteSmiling..I think many are waiting to sign that list..
DeleteCommuning with nature, making a promise, murmuring some words, what better place than somewhere unsullied by our fellows, promising a new beginning.
ReplyDeleteI think you have caught the moment...thanks for visiting..
DeleteThere truly is something about a walk in nature, by a pond, watching the birds, that calms the spirit. I know it is my "go to" place. Beautiful sentiments.
ReplyDeleteThank you Margaret..
DeleteLove 'holding an envelope of hopes and dreams' and your communication with nature, receiving images, being supported and feeling the new start...~ very inspiring, Truedessa x
