The Silence Inside The Noise

Photo and Painting by the author

each day completes itself when done with it,

a stretch to dream,

furthering lifetimes to breathe.

each midnight’s exquisite instant reposes

when personal power and internal dialogue fade,

when the sky, absent the eyes,

no longer need nourish the famished mind.

each day completes itself when done with it,

as the ringing of silence saturates with worthiness,

scatters seeds to illuminate,

and bearing the heart of a child

brimming with buoyancy, joy.

here within our lives

hearts may surrender

diving deeper into this space:

bumping into ourselves,

resolute inside the noise,

unbound inside the silence.
