Stillness stirs in feather feelings
stroking its invitation
to speak where voices
are gobbled by the wind.
Alone, the sound booms
within,
rolled up in the earthen carpet
darts of day
shorn of their piercing.
Tears trickle into fluid quintessence
heart rises in towering awareness,
mountains grow in the mind's landscape,
hearing an ageless vagabond symphony
of hearth unto the sky's unfurling
gossamer mantle
wrapping life in a tonic tranquility
air one's only companion
who kisses with tremors
shaking dust of obsession
from the spirit
until being alone
is a deep reflection
having no tears.
