The Silence

 

There are days
I crave silence
Free of human noises
Outside and inside my mind
Rumbling and grumbling
All about money, career, kids and relationships
A long list of material achievements
Ego and pride in every word they spit
Make you mad and look for a door to escape

How do we escape this madness?
The feeling of suffocation
Can we escape?
Or face it with bravery
The silence.

Hear you breathe?
Smell the air?
See the sky?
Feel the universe?
The silence of your presence
Moment of serenity
Even among all these noises

Once in a while, at least
You stop them
The noises
Embrace the silence.

Rest In Peace, they say
Gift yourself with peace
While you live, I say!
Hush now, quiet.
Hear the silence.
