Earth trembles
in rain soaked ground,
yet the sea is calm,
the old trees heavy
with many winters.
The peace I know
no longer flitting
between flowers,
but like silent stone
gathering stillness
to support the sea’s
dark depth.

Reading of “Silent Stone” with music by Brad Hatfield.
Don, Kevin’s photo (probably from Illinois’ chain of lakes) fits well with today’s poem. Thanks.
‘Peace, Be Still’ … Thank You Muchly, Knowingly Peaceful Poet Don!
I appreciate the experience of peace I feel in reading (and hearing) your words. Thank you.
Perhaps this Poem reflects a few moments of stillness and peace which you were experiencing in that setting. Beautiful Don!🙏
