Darkness gently invades

the evergreen forest

a strange inevitable dream ~

announcing the sacred arrival

invisible birds

outpour overpower in

sacred cadences of eternity ~

the lyrically scattered

green brown yellow leaves

the solid blotches of light in

primordial geometric designs ~

slowly the leaves vanish

then the patterns of light ~

a lonely violet butterfly

is the last to dissolve

into the empty infinity ~

booming black

echo of darkness ~

there is no sky

yet the radiant river

carries a crescent moon ~

a solitary note of

a nameless bird

thrashed the

nocturnal silences ~

Again the Divine Silence

Altum Silentium ~
