THE QUIET OF MY SPIRIT

The Quiet Of My Spirit

If you listen very carefully

Be still and you might hear it

It's a peace that rests within me

Known as the quiet of my spirit

Sometimes I stand surrounded

In the busyness of a crowd

The chatter and the noise

Often seem so very loud

Escape from all the hustle

Can't come fast enough for me

Thoughts of a quiet, peaceful place

Is where I long to be

So I close my eyes for just a while

And let the world around me fade

As the peacefulness surrounds me

In a place noise can't invade

A warmth comes over my body

The quiet becomes so clear

The sound of silence dances

What a pleasure to my ear

This peace I have that embraces me

Can not be touched, you can't get near it

But if you come close you just might hear

The quiet of my spirit

Lovely, free and definitely peaceful poetry has a calming affect
and TQOMS surely does that. Yes, inner peace is sometimes
hard to find but self awareness brings it home. And I can truly
relate when the overwhelming noise of the world creeps in and
to find that peaceful place inside is a journey we seek and find
embraces us and it feels great.
Good job, BL
