Quiet
Silence
Stillness
Tranquillity
Practically impossible
Everything animated and automated
Multitasking life style
Chorus of voices
Calling me
Pulling
QUIET
I'll try it
Voices off
Electronics off
Sitting on the couch
I hear children playing outside
In the bedroom lying still
Clock ticks ring
Other room
Alone
Quiet
Breath rasps
A plane goes by
Stretched toes crack
Fingers in my ears make ocean waves
Pressure echoes back my pulse
Life is sound
Motion
Quiet?
Maybe not
Even in the grave
The adventure beyond that
In the seeking and appreciation
Of quiet of less noise
I've found stillness
In my spirit
Peace
God
This is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNicely done. I always find it hard to silence the Monkey Mind during my meditation attempts.
