Quietness

The sound heard in silence

The words heard in solitude

Of things past and those to come

Images of what could be

 

Hush my heart, be still my mind

Thoughts flood in yet not all are seen

The coming of light, all is revealed

 

There is a silence no man can comprehend

There is a quietness only my soul knows

There is tranquillity elevated by the void of words

There is a lifting when the heart is still
