If you could just
Open your eyes
To the silent beauty around you.
That sits quietly
Without a sound
As you walk past with unseeing eyes.
Have you ever seen
The moonlit night
Draping silver veils over white birches.
Casting soft warmth over glittering blue liquid
As it ripples
Without a sound.
Open your eyes
To see the velvet-furred wolf
Back arching gracefully as it bounds over snow-laden hills.
Its midnight pelt gleams, holding the light
As it raises it head
And howls.
When you think of a howl
You're immediately scared
But have you ever stopped to listen.
The most divine music known to mankind
Its notes vaulting
Across the valleys.
Be aware of your surroundings
Even the shadows seem to dance
Their edges soft and welcoming.
They bend with the moon
As it bends the light
Moving swiftly and silently away.
The world is submerged
Is silent beauty
And if you know where to look
You can find it.
