Cry out your voice, bitter signs of summer!

This time is your time to cry,
This time I listen only for joys,

And set my quiet reverence heard
Under starry sky and stillness night
This wisdom of silence

My hushed sanctuary of being
Glowing pond shimmering in moonlight
Soothing to place my cares at rest

Like you, reflections of life
Elusive majesty placed against
Taking time as others rush by

Real Peace, inner escapable serenity?
Yet another discovery

Underneath this agitation
Awaits tranquility and depth we cannot reach

But waiting silently...
