I want you to sit with me,
in silence;
To feel the solitude
in the gush of
fresh morning winds
waiting for the rising sun;
In between the Shasta Mountains,
watching the stillness
of the Shasta Lake;
I want to
embrace the vastness
of the Sky above me,
the earth beneath me,
and the peace around me
in unison!!
P.S: Dedicated to a friend who took me back to my teens again and feels I am a zephyr over the mountains!!
There are moments when words are not needed and silence says it all. Lovely.
