A Night of Silence
When I Make Every Attempt To Quiet My Mind
From a life filled with distractions
There is the t.v. and an easy push of a button
Off it goes
After a conversation with my wife
I ask for a little quiet time
She is more than happy to oblige
I look over at our cat Charlotte
A sleep and curled in a ball
Giving her a light soft pat on the head
I leave her content
I finish off a small bowl of Pistachios
So delicious and so hard to stop eating
A cold glass of water
Refreshing and drinking to the final sip
Folding the clothes out of the dryer
So I can dismiss my need to finish what I started earlier
Washing the dirty dishes in the sink
Finishing my chores for the night
A bathroom run
My body now at a more relaxed state
Changing into more comfortable clothes
That do not restrict or hinder
Shutting off the lights
Giving my eyes a much needed rest
Each new thought that enters in my mind
I simply acknowlege it's precense
Repeat the thought outloud
Then release it from my lips
Now listening to the humming of the laptop
I have to shut it off
My body loose and my arms dangling by my side
How to live
My brain is a blank slate
My soul
Open to peace and quiet
Welcoming love from all directions

AUTHORGypsy Rose Lee It sounds so beautiful. We all search for that peace and quiet. Then we turn that time into great thoughts that we embellish what we see by words to experience the best experience possible. There is no better time for me than to be with family and friends. I also need alone time to regroup and reboot. Feeling the wonderful feelings and deep emotions that trigger happiness. Thank you for being the first to comment. Wishing you new spirit and energy to accomplish all your latest goals. Thank you so very much for all your support.
When night falls and it gets quiet and I am still working the window is open and all I need to hear is one meow and I know I have company either Sid or my kitty niece Oreo. Hope you're having a great new week.
