Pulsing Flow

power off - no electricity
the quietude barren of machines
motors, TV, radio, telephone, computer
the hush of electrical toil and task
in this silence what do I hear
the ambient sounds that echo all that is
the gentle call of the wind
the wind chime melody
the songbird song
the pulsing flow of all
the sounding feel of a breath known
a breath known
a breath known.

Pristine Quietude

fallen snow
a pristine quietude
blanketed in glistening white splendor
jeweled be all crested in ice cycles
branch and bough in blessed surrender
cold be this wind
white white be the sky above
held I be in winter's embrace
this the Creator's love.
