Quiet, Silent

Quiet, silent,
Hushed,
Soundless bliss,
Alone,
Not lonely,
Thoughts flow,
Uninterrupted,
Sitting still,
Unmoving,
Yet, moved,
Calm,
Yet, captivated,
Not enough moments like these,
To be at peace,
Unadulterated peace,
Sh-sh-sh-sh,
I can’t hear the wind,
Come sit by me,
If only for a minute,
Make it two,
And, enjoy,
Quiet, silent,
Ah-h-h-h!
