The Fair Utter Silence
Alone in nature feeling a natural striking humbleness
Gracious among the most immense and incomprehensible
The noiselessness unites me
From unconsciousness to consciousness
Here it is clear and so be it the mind
I hold it so dear, so gentle and spirits kind
How would I undo all worldly dependence;
And invite the soundless descendant?
How far to evade interruption and delay?
Indeed each day to think;
With the longing and the intricate agreed
What mountainous crevasse shall enlighten me?
Only the sounds to be meagerly heard;
Are the hushing tones of trees
If only to find the land most polite
Of only songs sung by feathered tunes
It would be there, far away like an island
In the fair utter silence
