Respectfully enjoying silence

The pounding of my heart

The focus of my mind

The air moving in my lungs

My body sits still

The spring cotton falling around me

Silence

I hush my soul

My thoughts are no more

I have nothing to ponder

I have a world to admire

The fingernail moon

Hangs in the daylight hour

The moon can see stars

I can not

Only the spring cotton

In this silence
