About Silence

11/19/2019

2 Comments

 

I walk the along the trail, the sounds of the birds and the rustling of leaves 
I look around at the blankets of brown, green, and grey that surround me 
And it calms me
 
Walking along the beach, the waves dance endlessly along the shore 
The salty air fills my lungs, the sound of the wind and the gulls
And it calms me

Along the empty streets, businesses closed, and I am left alone 
The smell the mold from abandoned buildings, log trucks racing down the highway 
And it calms me 

No matter where life takes you, if you look, you’ll find peace 
Serenity isn’t just found on backwoods streams 
But in the rhythm of a city or in a conversation with friends 
Calm isn’t just about silence, but about awareness and focus
When you learn that, peace comes, and serenity awaits
