SILENCE IN NATURE

Oh, let a hush bind the wild lands in sighs, Where the brook murmurs faintly through wooded returns, In the heart of the forest, beneath smoothed-out skies, A quiet tranquility hums where life yearns.

The crickets converse in their soft-spoken tongue, While the leaves rustle secrets, the cool breezes tease; In this moment, a lullaby gently is sung, Where harmony flourishes, and souls find their ease.

Oh, nature’s own breath, in repose we can feel, The whispering chill of a world wrapped in rhyme, Let the silence surround, let its caresses heal, In these moments of stillness, we bridge into time.
