Quiet

It's so quiet tonight.
I'm so awake tonight.
Hazy light in the garden
distant symphony of good bugs & bad bugs
from the trees above
Sweet silence
as if
I can't remember
a time so
still,
like I've forgotten,
the depth
of silence.
Noises come and go in the background
but nothing penetrates
this sweet space
my thoughts rolling gently
around in my mind
grand spaciousness
a place, a time
to relax
to wonder
to dream
to relish in the fantasies
of what if
and where to.
Simply delighted to occupy
this space today.
learning to dive into the cool waters,
remembering what it feels like
to be
alive.
