(in response to painting ‘From the Crags’ by Mike Barlow)
Silence echoes,
unlocks mechanics of mind,
eclipses nine-to-five,
working the inner dynamo,
escape in the compass needle,
in nothing there is everything,
nature carries you
and hears your heart in the openness,
the space that holds you,
projecting this earthing,
peace sets the soul free.
