Evolving Through The Written Word

  

The sound of silence drowns out the clatter

of life’s wheels in motion.

So turning a deaf ear to the negative screeching

has become obsolete.

Never do I worry when the elevator is broken

for I relish in the rush of climbing the stairs

till the wind from wings clears the dirt

that has settled on the bookshelves of my mind.

This allows me to read the story of my life

without a dust cloud affecting my perceptions of the past.

This is the kind of clarity that allows me to write the future

with less typos than before.

I know errors will still occur,

but the edits will not be as extreme.

Nice, I like it, typos!!! add's flavor, little mistakes, I'm a pro on that subject,
God is perfect, not us. I miss you my dear friend, you are still part of my life, hugs.

Finding clarity and peace in a world full of chaos and noise, so we can fully explore the things that live within the deep reaches of our minds and tap into our souls. This is the sort of peace that a writer needs most. I like this a lot. Nice work.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much, glad you liked it.

Interesting analogy you have going on here...can one turn a deaf ear to the sound of silence? hmmm I'll have to ponder on that. Negative people are just negative. There's no known cure other that shooting them and that's against the law I'm told. I'm an incurable optimist myself so I can't tolerate whiners and complainers. Errors do occur not only in writing but in life. It's best to eliminate either as quickly as possible.
