Quiet
Clear crystal silence no chatter or cracks

Stillness serenity stopped in your tracks

Awakened to peace after fight upon fight

Wondering could you last one more night

A calm settles in quieting fear

Anxiety suddenly has disappeared

Longing for solace that rests agitation

At last you have landed alone with elation

What put you through it what sent you there

When you’ve been through it year after year

What if you learn stop wasting energy

What if you embrace letting go being free

Fear is what does it taking your space

Filling mind body with concerns of disgrace

What can we say about this old churning

It’s here to teach us about our own burning

The hope is our deepest wisdom prevails

And we say “no” to ongoing travails

Learning to trust step on the next rung

Trusting that faith will provide a warm hug

What do you know about quiet?

What have you learned from your place of quiet?

Do you have a way of getting to your place of quiet?

What is it?

Is it always available?

What do you do when you can’t access it?
