Silence In The Sound Of Still

dust from a
mountain crumble settles
as far as the eye
can see a horizon
a barren desert
of vast nothingness
and what lies underneath
all the ruin
do memories leave echoes
in the fold of time
where things
have been left behind
tiny grains of ash
dressed as a covering
shield the seed of hope
buried deep within
what triggers landslides
bringing chaos of destruction
and what binds us
to the tree rings of life
while we await in silence

"I am living a life, i have no wish to live. How did this happen?" Unknown

you make me sit still, and listen.

Instant karma's gonna get you.

well sometimes I stir up the dust...create the ashes, and then recall how, where, what and why in the silence!
