I sit by the water
pondering, contemplating
The meaning of life
of the days we have
the moments we live
I watch the ripples
as they roll, a smooth disturbance
ever widening
ever expanding
Do they hold the secret
within their circles?
Do they carry it away
the meaning I seek
I sit by the water
listening to the music
nature’s surround sound
singing in four part harmony
From water’s edge
to the boughs of the tree
I listen and I wait
for interpretation of the song
is life’s meaning hidden
somewhere within?
I sit by the water
thoughts turned inward
listening to the words of my soul
hearing the beating of my heart
wondering of this hidden
meaning of life
feeling the air within my lungs
with every inhale
every exhale
a slight understanding comes
a trust in the silence
of secrets shared
when you say nothing at all.

Silence can be very powerful. 8 points Earthling
