In Silence MonetAs the young girl sits reading Depicting the setting Bringing each character alive Setting the scene chapter by chapter She is as much a part of nature As mother nature herself The book and her soft hands Lay open quietly on her lap The young girl gazes each page carefully Taking in every word and phrase Her mind travels to many distant places Upon her head She wears a flowery lace pink and white bonnet A satin ribbon delicately tied around her neck Her long flowing lace pink and white gown The sleeves are long with dainty ruffles lace and pink flowers Her gown elegantly covers the green grass The sunlight barely shines through the trees The tall trees shade and protect her Flowers spread around her Their shadows dance on her gown She hears the chirping of the birds Music to her ears She takes delight in the cool gentle breeze As she breathes in fresh air Her calm peaceful face Truly is full of grace Her spirit is serene In silence The young girl sits and reads As she blends in with nature ŠApril 16, 2012 Janet Irene Griffin Within us is the soul of the whole, the wise silence, the universal beauty, the eternal One. - Ralph Waldo Emerson - Vote for this poem
