my book & first poem

Hello Dear Classmates, I am happy to tell you that my poem book is now available in different online bookshops in Germany and Switzerland. With this link you can have a look at it. https://www.bod.ch/index.php?id=1132&objk_id=406127. And here is the first poem for my book, written in both English and German: (I wish you all a quiet, peaceful, bright November.  Lots of love, Ruth) 
The name off the first poem in the book is Silence.
 

Silence
I sit at the lake in the sunshine;
Slowly peace turns into my thoughts.
I listen to the noises of this world;
What tells me the sea gull?
I hear lovers tease each others,
What kind of secrets they probably hide?
In the world there are millions of stories,
Told from hundreds of millions of views.
I let my thoughts fly away 
and dive into the peace of my heart.
Ruhe

Ich sitze am See im Sonnenschein,
langsam kehrt in meinem Verstand Ruhe ein.
ich lausche den Geräuschen dieser Welt,
was mir wohl die Möwe erzählt?
Ich höre ein Liebespaar sich necken,
was sie wohl voreinander verstecken?
Auf der Welt gibt es Millionen Geschichten,
erzählt aus Abermillionen Sichten.
ich lasse jetzt meinen Verstand Verstand sein
und tauche in die Ruhe meines Herzens ein.
