So quiet here

So hushed and stilled

So silent here

Such longing calmed

and tempered here

So quiet here



Swirling shades of evening

circling the light

Last escaping traces of the day

streak the sky -

paint in water light

blends warm

and breath of breeze

and endless

endless

reaching here



So quiet here

So hushed and stilled

So silent here



Winding down

to stopping

gently

here
