Quietude
by Odin Roark
Quietude
Like a tree’s dark shadow
Knows only the absorption of all colors
Rendering the din of senses
A cacophonous silenceHow gentle the process
Once resistance abates
The mind’s own deprivation tank
Engendering trust void of fearYet
So hesitant are many
To embrace the white light
To wait out nature’s tintinnabulation
The white noise becoming aphonicTo lay oneself down
Afloat atop the water
The grass
The ethereal reality of consciousness
Where leaves of brown
Beneath the awaiting orange of
Red and yellow repeat nature’s cycleWhere jasmine lures the mulch of life
Into purity’s gateway
Patiently biding time’s eternal truth
Preparing one with zeroThe hush of peace
The quiet of love
The mutation of hate
Conjoin in harmony’s sublime reward
The circle of quietude
