Quietness

Quietness


Be still

Be quiet

Listen to all that is

around you

Pay attention to
the little sounds
crowded over by the
busyness of life
you will find them
there
waiting just for you


Stop the chatter in your mind 
breathe in 
slowly
meditatively
purposefully 
be still and know
listen to the quietness
it is a gift 
available just for the
taking


If only you will
hear what is way down
deep inside
take the messages
there within you
rest
in this quietness 
be content
and free


Quietness
is all around you
seek
you will find it
there
