Deafening

Silence-

Sweet serenity,

Wrap me in your soft embrace;

Sing for me a lullaby

So that not only I

But all the world may drift

To sleep-sweet sleep. 

Peace is never far behind,

A mother to your children

Who rocks the babes 

In her nurturing arms;

Sent from Heaven

To the world, chaotic 

In careless comparison,

May you both reign.

This world needs to grow quiet,

To become hushed suddenly-

Thankfully-momentarily

So that it might realize

What it is missing by speaking

And living and breathing

When it could be listening

To the sounds of eternity’s 

Most beloved child-

Silence.

Love this so much...actually calmed me. I was just getting pretty well, sort of rowled up, and then I read this and I was instantly calm. Thank you :)

Yay! :) I wasn't thinking this piece was so great, but I am glad it had a good effect on you!

Yes, oh how the world screams at us every day, and how we need to escape to the simplicity of silence. Letting your thoughts sing to me even now after a long day.
