A candle flickers
soundlessly
on my work table
A crochet hook
moves
in a silent, repetitious rhythm
and curtain shadows
dance on the walls
in rays of sun
The window handle
sits in a froth of net curtains
There is stillness
and quiet contemplation.
No music, no television blaring, no one talking
Just listening to the sound of silence
and bathing in its velvety fullness
creating harmony and plenitude.

Very nice photographed Sandra.....i like these curtain shadows.
ReplyDeleteGreetings and a nice evening, Joop
I think the sounds of silence are just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful series, Sandra.
Sandra,
ReplyDeleteI love observe the curtain shadows dancing on the walls, like a mistery!
Happy 2014!
Kisses
Sounds and looks like paradise to me! I love my solitude!
ReplyDeleteSandra, I enjoy your vision and perspective in these contemplative photos. I recently read an essay on silence which the author said is not the absence of sound but the absence of noise. Silence may be filled with soothing sounds that weave into the background and allow us to experience calm.
ReplyDeleteSuch a peaceful post! Lovely. xxx
ReplyDeleteA beautifully worded post as always Sandra, cut mats too. We have been listening to the radio more this year, turning the TV off whe there isn't anything on worth watching, which is often at the moment. xx
