I think It’s your silence That draws me most To stand alone and yet beside you On this hill A subtle comment in absence— The way that sunlight mutely lies On what one can see as if beyond Anything the words can say Together Though each in his own solitude We understand the meaning of afterward Though flowers bloom and robins sing Again and yet not again as it was— An autumn moon now but the moon Just rising in the east |

There is always such depth and wisdom in your work and this is no exception. I love the layers of this, they wash over me like a tide. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Beautiful! Silence, but the right kind, is a precious gem, that too few people appreciate, let alone, know. I love the way you blend people into nature, yet let them stand out from it, as though they are sad strangers in their own natural environment. - Owl |
