Hermitage wraps around him
a shimmering cloak of quiet light.
he meditates in candescent stillness
finding centredness within its glow
a candelabra’s incandescent silence.
His variegated thoughts
a stream of luminescence
flow gently through his mind
each moment, each breath aflame.
In cadences of tranquility
he discovers the serenity of self
each thought a note of calm
each breath a placid soliloquy.
