Two Sonnets in Praise of Stillness

Sonnet I: Morning’s Gentle Call

As morning’s breath touches the curtained night,
And draws with golden rays the shade apart,
My soul, in quiet musing bright,
Then weaves a garland fair within my heart.
The river’s murmur, in solemn chant before
Noontime, calls my spirit to attend;
Gray mountains, veiled in mist, my eyes explore,
Like mournful shades that round my vision bend.
Yet on the bank, where winter’s frost does cling,
Sweet blossoms wait to burst into radiant bloom.
My smile, a tear, in tender offering,
Do fold over lilies’ clock in fragrant room.
Thus sways my soul to greet the Divine’s grace,
Where morning’s light warms my sacred place.

Sonnet II: Evening’s Starlit Peace

As evening’s quiet veiling falls, my soul becomes a vase,
Open to catching the prayers that softly rise.
The rain, an avatar, with gentle touch does cause
The day’s sharp edge to render my spirit wise.
My silver sorrow, breathed in one last sigh,
Rises to where starry angels light the hill.
Old eyes, now clear, behold the heavens high,
Where night’s embrace does every care distill.
No tulip dares to flaunt its vivid hue,
Without the Gardener’s hand, divine and sure;
No soul gains peace, save where the Guide does woo,
With promises of love forever pure.
So I sway still, in dawn’s or dusk’s soft gleams,
To meet my Creator in everlasting dreams.
