How does it feel
When your mind is quiet
All chatter is gone
Churning has ceased
And your thoughts rest
On the shores of silence?
How does it feel
When light slowly seeps in
Hope reappears
Gratitude takes hold
And the quiet space
Is filled with peace?
I wish I knew – my mind can and will ALWAYS find something that requires much pondering. 😦
Mine too…when I let it run free. Quieting it down for small moments at a time is not easy but so worth it.
Those times when I have felt peace of mind was more wonderful than I know words to describe. Beautiful poem sweet Tiny. Hugs!
I fully agree. Thank you Maggie. Hugs back to you too!
still waiting for that moment Helen
It will come David. When you’re ready to let it in.
I’m confident of that…I am.
Life is amazing that way. Always something to look forward to.
Perfect timing. I just got back in from a nice long walk at dusk. What an excellent debrief!
Thank you Maurice. Happy the timing was right. Those kinds of quiet moments are priceless.
This type of quiet was elusive to me until I finally found it through yoga. Such a blessing!
I know! We all have our individual paths to finding that peaceful quiet place. I have very much enjoyed following your discoveries.
But I will add that summiting a tall mountain gives me similar peace and quiet (once I’ve caught my breath…and assuming I give myself time to rest and enjoy the view versus turning around and immediately heading back down). 🙂
Nature is amazing that way 🙂
The quiet space – yes, that is something that mostly does elude me. Lovely words, Tiny.
Thank you Tish. It can be elusive, but once we find it, it becomes easier to return there..
Lovely!
Thank you. Happy you enjoyed the poem.
Bliss, complete bliss. 🙂
I agree. Happy you’ve been there.
It feels wonderful!
It really does! And we need it at times.
These blissful moments of silence are a rare treasure. But when I find, I feel more alive and satisfied. Life seems beautiful and meaningful though for a few minutes.
Yes – we connect to who we really are.
Like a long exhale that goes on forever and hangs softly before we allow a gentle opening to inhale new life.
Thank you for taking me there Helen ❤
Thank you for your beautiful comment Val ❤
Sometimes I have a hard time just being quiet, I always think I need to be busy.
For me, the quiet moments have helped to balance out the extreme stress and busyness I had to live with for so many years with demanding work, constant travel and raising a family…saved me, so to speak.
Like HEAVEN when I can get there, Tiny! (smile) Chattering monkeys don’t let go easily but when they do I am HOME! And OH how I want to stay there!!! Have a wonderful day and I thank you for another wonderful, insightful poem. (((HUGS))) Amy
I agree! It’s wonderful when the monkeys go home 🙂 Have a great day too, Amy! Hugs
SMILE!!!!
