Silence beckons,
I answer and
I am rewarded with moments of tranquility
that can be found only when surrounded by silence.
Silence encourages me
to intentionally engage in the art of doing nothing
In the silence, nothingness becomes something
of a world all its own.
Beauty is magnified
Serenity surrounds me and
I become mindfully aware of the inner peace
that can be found only when I answer
the summons of silence.

In today's world, it is very hard to find a time when all is silent. I sometimes get up in the middle of the night and just sit in the dark and listen--to nothing. I love it!!!
"...In silence, nothingness becomes something of a world all it's own."
The thought of silence surrounding things of beauty, and providing space for contemplation, is compelling.
Thank you for sharing.
I love this. I am immediately reminded of the purpose of beginning and continuing my mindfulness meditation course. Thank you for sharing this!
I needed to read this today. Thank you.
I love the poem...I sent it to my daughter-in-law....
Judy, Sandra, PBJ, Kaveri and Beverly - thank you for commenting.
I know I surely need this every day.
This poem is beautiful. When I first found myself home alone for long periods of time I did everything I could to fill the silence. I am learning to appreciate the silence. I am becoming aware of the inner peace.
