Frozen stillness



Frozen stillness

Amongst  Frozen stillness
In breathless breath
Along the winding road
Of  woundering lanes
 
Adrift in mystery of our lives
Voiceless voice of our times
Speak as streams that rise
To the paths beside it
 
Peace wakens within itself
To find the world at peace
In the morning of its beginning
The earth turns in the
Early day of night
 
Itself inside its nature
Of its resting light
We drempt the dream of living peace
 
Sun braking pale through misty sleep
Amidst the roots
Of trees at rivers edge
Along the groundless ground
and wordless words that speak
