George is a quiet fellow.
George is a cactus.
You can’t shake hands
With him because of
His prickly spines.
We just sit and look
At each other. He’s
Low maintenance,
A little water every
Couple of weeks.
George would like
Some friends.

Early to Rise
When you get up early
In the morning everything
Is quiet and peaceful. It’s
A good time for planning
Your day and meditating
As you watch the sun rise
In the east in all its
Glory.
The Wind
It was a quiet evening at
Home. The parents were
Watching TV and the kids
Were in their rooms doing
Homework or playing video
Games. Out of nowhere, a
Wind blew all through the
House moving curtains and
Knocking over pictures. A
Deep voice said–I’m all right.
Silence
If indeed you must be candid,
Be candid beautifully, otherwise
Keep silent for there is a man
In our neighborhood who is
Dying.
Chamber Music
I stand still
I feel Monday’s soft face
Lightly caress my left shoulder
Most cherished part
Most important here and now.
Far Out
It occurs to me it
Is the ability to be
Still, to be totally
Aware of any given
Moment, this is
Poetry–far out.
Sailing
A sailboat offers a unique
Experience on the water.
The sails catch the wind.
There’s no noisy engine,
You just glide silently
Over the water steering
With the wind. The quiet
Experience encourages
Meditation and peace.
The Cave
One afternoon I was walking
In the woods and noticed an
Opening in the side of a hill
Partially covered by vines.
It looked like a cave, and
Luckily I had a flashlight
With me. I started into the
Dark cavern. It was eerily
Quiet and damp. The farther
I went inside, I began to hear
Strange music. And to my
Amazement, I came upon a
Glowing purple rock–I had
Stumbled upon an Enchanted
Cavern.
Rain
Listening to the rain
Is relaxing on a quiet
Evening. It’s rhythmic
Drumming on the
Roof almost lulls a
Person into a deep
Dreamlike state.
Turn off the TV, lie
Back on the couch,
Close your eyes and
Listen to the rain.
Mom
Mom’s been around for
A long time. At 98 years
Young, she’s sharp as a
Tack, soft spoken. And
Mom is a little hard of
Hearing. Her love for
Her family and in-laws
Is real and returned
Back to Mom. It’s easy
To make her laugh.
And her gentle nature
Wins everyone over.
We want Mom to last
Forever.
