Analysis of Silence
Sitting by the fire
Listening to the crackling of the burning wood
Its' aroma fills the air in Silence.
Calm is the water
Surrounded by colourful trees
Reflecting in the lake of Silence.
The gentle wind
Whispers through the fluttering leafs
And carress the branches in Silence.
The earth reaches the horizon
meeting the pale blue sky in Silence.
God, I am so happy to be alive.
