Gold

pale blue light
fades to gold
silent waves

Stillness

In the stillness
there is time
to ponder
to believe

The eagle flies
wisdom’s wind
Pine trees sway
a hidden song

The life’s pursuit
needs no waves
Only the stillness
in which to breathe

pale navy sky
trimmed with gold
the sun sinks

sun through the trees
two whip-poor-wills
sing the same song

Branches bend
weave through trees
wooded tapestry
