To know that silence
Is just a pause
A pause to water the cracks in the dry earth
For the shoot to breathe a sigh of relief
Be tickled by the gentle breeze
A tiny shadow under the sun
It takes nurturing to see the plant bloom
And silence to experience
The stillness of the calm

I imagine that science and math are involved
If I had a riddle or a problem to solve
I’ll watch as granulated sugar dissolves
As it spins around in circles; revolves
A sip from my cup
Strips away my resolve
As I strive for perfection
While I grow and evolve
