Aging & Attitude
This summer our family vacationed at Paulinskill Lake in Sussex county, New Jersey. It is a beautiful area in northern New Jersey and the lake was serene. The first day my nine-year old granddaughter, Alexandria, let out a huge adult sigh while floating and said, “It’s so quiet.” Truly, we could breathe in the silence and relax. There was a fair share of noise makers, landscapers with lawn mowers and weed whackers, utility and tree removal trucks during the day, but the mornings were special. I would sit and savor the sounds of silence. The loved song, by Simon and Garfunkel, played in my head throughout the week. Their song touted the political outcome and moral consequences of keeping quiet, my poem below touches on the ubiquitous nature of silence.
Good Morning Lake
Silence is ubiquitous, everywhere
Stillness surrounds you
A quiet elixir slips inside your soul
The continuous calm reflected on the mirrored water
The sounds of silence familiar yet unknown
With casual notification, early sun light signals day has begun
A Mourning Dove begins the celebration with a cooooooooo
Several tweets and chirps beneath branches join the conversation
And the winds pause
The silence is pervasive not void
Ubiquitous, filled with hope and joy
….just saying
You said it right Mama! xoxo
