That Brilliant Quiet

Upon a smooth inhalation,

My lungs vivaciously expand,

Nostrils flaring, eyes watering.

Leaves crunch under my soles,

enriching my soul with

Their satisfying sensory stimulation

Every glance reveals a new curiosity,

an optical bewilderment, intriguing

My mind in the liveliness of the quiet

Quiet, yet so loud is the land

Loud in its life, in its story, history.

I could remain lost here for eternity

In this brilliant quiet
