The Gift of Silence
to truly enjoy nature is to experience absolute tranquility
one cannot notice the tiny ant exploring the leaf of the vine
as it violently assaults the husk of the tree in its everlasting
quest for absolute light and warmth from the morning Sun.
silence is also a requirement for space our brains to breathe
creativity ne’er comes from bedlam, nor travail, nor revelry
our creativity needs the quietude of space to allow the whispers
of God to enter our hearts allowing us His voice to lead.
The Gift of Silence – A Necessity: A Space to Breathe
God’s Grace of Peace – A Blessing: Infinite Life
