Become The Silence 10/16/2022

Become the silence
In the stillness
Of the night
‘Tis always there for us
Even during the daylight.

Often covered up
By overthinking
And worrying
Too much.

Just
Pay attention
And listen
To the stillness inside
Your weary heart.

‘Tis the calming state
Of no mind
Where Gods talks
Quietly to us.

No distractions
No worries or pain
How did I not know
All this existed
Just for me
Anytime needed.

Could my ego mind
Want to keep me
Fearful of life
And afraid to step
Outside the box?

Tis something
We all must discern
Knowing how to
Become the silence
Within our daily life
And learn to find love
In all experiences.
