My Quiet Space
Written at a time when I faced many external demands, My Quiet Place explores how important a sense of quiet and tranquility are to me.
The voice of the quiet beckons me.
No hum, hiss, rattle, vrhumm.
No television voice;
not even the sound of my own internal dialogue,
just pure silence.
The quiet directs a current
deep in my soul
nothing else touches.
No sound of a clock ticking.
No rustling papers.
In those sacred moments,
what I hear transcends the ordinary decibel.
There are notes that resonate within
on some unexplored scale.
No sound of external demands.
No expectations that require a word.
There is a warm blanket of privacy and utter stillness.
Perhaps I know myself.
