A world crowd pushing and shoving
one person’s breath
becomes another
and thunder of voice
deafens our soul.

My kingdom for some peace and quiet.

When this wish happens
our silence is absorbed,
soft as a country breeze
and swaying like leaves on tall trees.

Yet a glance back to the past
yields energies of our friends and family,
feeding the fire of new paths and direction.
