I welcome my old friend silence
To calm the noise of my mind
A welcome visitor to give me respite
From all that troubles me
Ego bows in humility to silence
Awakening the sentience of heart
Compassion for my persecutor
is my lesson
Healing and calming my mental storm
Silence bids me to become silent
Within this moment of clarity
All that matters is silence
As in all moments
Peace is a natural state of being
Stephen Rowlands 16/01/20
