Silence
I long for silence
a bit of peace and quiet
aahhh
I find a place where no one can see me
and hope for stillness
But the lawnmower goes up and down
a truck rattles past on the road
birds chatter and call
the breeze rustles the grass
all busy busy
this silence is very noisy!
and the Whisper says
‘Shhh. Listen for the silence’
But I’m worried for my son
and I’m planning an email
my foot’s gone to sleep
and my heart is hurting
and the Whisper says
‘Shhh. Listen for the silence’
Fall into the silence
Breathe the silence
Hold the silence
Relax
Rest
Wait
then wait some more
“Aahh” breathes the Whisper
“There you are!”
