Silence

there is something so simple

in the silence

something as soothing

as a warm breeze

something as easy

as breathing

there is something

about the stillness

something that lulls

calming the senses

somewhere in that quiet

there are doors

windows that let in light

peace can be found

in moments like this

understanding can be sifted

until the valuable pieces

are shaken loose

wind rustles the trees

and leaves float

through the air

their simple path

leading them

until they gently come to rest

this is a place for thought

a place for healing

a place of reprieve

truly, it is a day

just like any other

but to pause

to sit within the silence

letting nothing

fill the empty spaces

that is the difference

for today
