Stillness

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Stillness.

 

A little silence mothers the truth for those
who dare seek and embrace
the almost-heard for if not smothered 
in distractive disturbance
stillness finds access to wisdom that lies
underneath sound and
emits learning more than before known.

Only to those who seek 
the un-vocal recall notes of non-sonance
which compose balm
of core- healing by alchemy's halcyon 
to reach heart and soul.

    'the
    un-vocal recall notes
    of non-sonance
    which compose balm
    of core- healing'
    brilliantly distilled, dear Fay
    (these poem's message
    rings so true
    for oft
    it's only once we've survived
    to a time - beyond, aftermath
    we gain the necessary, space
    to realise, all that we've gleaned
    as during the chaos and noise
    of life
    we're too busy, surviving
    to heed our lessons in the moment
    so yes,
    like pauses in a conversation
    we must allow ourselves
    brief respites of stillness
    to organise
    what we've just received or learned
    lest they go to waste)
