i
stillness and silence
in late evening is balm for
my soul’s ear and eyeii
low light affords mind
flight thru the hours of past days
passed and those to comeiii
and when the heartbeat
in my ears slows I hear the
mouse in my log store
Alert ear and eye
The silence a balm to your ear and eye and your words a salve to my heart.
… as is transAtlantic friendship to mine 💕😘xx
And the exchange between the two of you warms my heart…xx
Thank you, dear Mimi.
Distance is no object between friends, is it? I think that’s what I was trying to express last evening
‘… when the heartbeat
in my ears slows I hear the
mouse in my log store’
– which is a thought I owe to the glorious American poet, William Stafford, from his ‘Listening’
