Shrouded in mist you come for me From the silence, from the cold. Waiting, watching has been your game. Now you find me alone, Hypnotised by the stillness, Mesmerised by moments of sublime beauty as yet unseen. I am helpless to resist.
What melody to find in silence, What comfort in the earth! Raindrops falling through trees echo through the forest. A lone web hangs wet with dew. A mushroom sits heavy with moisture on a tree stump.
The forest knows how to be in stillness And make it's presence felt.
I wrote this while on retreat in the forests north of Berlin
