Ties to the Silence

Light patting wanders around the clearing, 
as if in a trance,
unsure of which direction to turn or trust. 
A bright orb illuminates the sky in a blaze of glory, 
signifying the presence of warmth and care. 
The sound reverberates filling the vast canopy
with the rising sense of expectation. 
The dormant plants stand tall, 
proud to show their gnarled barks and drooping branches. 
The silence. 
The pure and simplicity of the moment 
brings the footsteps to a halt. 
The silence,
not verbal but emotional, 
bathing the clearing in rays of light 
and swathes it in understanding. 
Rare few possess connection 
but all share an understanding
To the being surrounding 
breathing life into us.
