Silence

A Poem

Silence is soul-replenishing
Quiet time with our own thoughts,
Plans, dreams, worries, fears

Contemplative time
Soul-searching time
What do I do now time

Time to let our thoughts
Spin in whatever direction
They wish to go

Without interruption
Without distraction
Without intrusion

To daydream or find solutions
To work through a thorny problem
To feel peaceful or angry or sad

To make decisions
Or determine our true feelings
Or think about nothing

Silence allows us to be with ourselves
To know ourselves
To understand ourselves

Silence is important to our well-being
Seek it out
Cherish it
