In a world of noise, confusion and conflict, it is necessary to find places of silence, beauty and peace.
       ------Thomas Merton

Earth tones blend
In gauzy umber.
Seeping quietly, 
Soft and tender.
------G. Hill

Reaching a tipping point, earth's palette spills and runs together, blurring the hardest of lines.   Bathed in its opalescence, I fold into the willowy mist, melding into fluid oneness.
   -------G. Hill

Let me, O let me bathe my soul in earth-colours; let me swallow the blue mist and drink the rainbow.
           ― Khalil Gibran

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you. 
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
        ------John 14:27

Where Mornings Dawn and Evenings Fade

Quietude
