Stillness In The Night 08/3/2022

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

Often covered up
By overthinking
And worrying
Too much.

Need to
Pay attention
And just listen
To the quiet voice inside
The heart.

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

No distractions
No worries or pain
All this exists
Just for us
Anytime needed.

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

Tis something
We all must discern
Knowing how to
Listen in the silence
Within our
Daily thoughts.
