I took the day out today to spend discerning about life and plans for the future. I couldn’t help writing something about this.
What can I expect from today?
This day is about stillness,
Silence should speak,
When time is given to being quiet,
Too many words
hide the light,
That belongs to silence.
When not enough hours,
Are committed to nothing,
Work becomes a shadowy presence,
Filling every empty space,
Hounding me with words and questions,
Unrelenting in their urgency,
Pushing me to the brink
Despair is too close.
Unless I say stop,
I choose to escape the noise,
And, I go for a long walk,
I sit beside a spring fed stream,
I listen to silence’s sounds,
This day is rescued,
From the tyranny of work,
Silence always speaks.
