A little silence mothers more truth for those
who dare seek and embrace
the unheard,
and if not smothered, stillness guides minds
to find in quiet
something of beauty waiting behind sound
to become to the listener
more than an antidote.
Only to those who see unsung whispers grow
quietude can, soundless,
escape to peace and
compose a useful calmness, lightening days
where mysterious
halcyon balm reaches the core of healing,
for only at rest can stillness
stifle noise-stress wholly.
