So Still
So peaceful
Like water traveling down a free-flowing stream.
You can hear everything
Crickets
Concerto’s
Rhythm & Blues
Anything you choose,
But most of all
You can hear your own heart
And the beautiful memories it brings
With every single beat.
No need for words
No need for sound
Listen to the silence
It’s such a beautiful sound.
I many times thought peace was near,
when it was far away,
As a weary traveler deems to sight an oasis,
in the middle of a desert,
A lost voyager, ponders how many fictitious shores to go before finding a harbour.
Where was peace, all the while?
Roaming in wilderness or waiting for my homecoming,
In my high rise condominium,
Handmade miniature kitchen garden,
Or at my top-notch banking workplace?
As hopeless as I was, I even thought of buying it,
At Eaton Shopping Centre, in a spicy slice of time,
But Peace was sold out, invariably.
Until one day, I found it within myself.
Sleeping like a baby.
Awakened, sleepy smiling eyes recognized me.
Ah! Finally the moment had come,
I cuddled peace, and never let it go.
Now we both are home,
Everywhere!
Im turning off my phone tonight,
and I’m turning off it’s sidekick, social media
I’m turning off this world
It’s too noisy
I can’t hear my heart… can’t even hear my own heartbeat
Can’t hear my drum
All I hear is everyone else’s drum, and they’re all so loud
It’s not even my rhythm
and it’s definitely
not my song
I’m turning off my phone tonight
