silence wraps itself gently around
the chaos we carry every day
it is a balm for the aching
a space where we
lay down our swords
and finally hear
solitude waits for us like an old friend
arms wide but never demanding
it reminds us
we are enough
without the noise of others
stillness teaches us
the language of the earth
slow, deliberate, patient
it moves nothing
yet shifts everything
simplicity strips us bare
until all that is left
is what truly matters
we are lighter here
we are freer here
these sanctuaries
have always lived within us
waiting to be found again.

Nicely written. Your poem revolves around the importance of silence, solitude, and simplicity in finding inner peace and clarity amidst the chaos of daily life.
Wisdom in poetic terms that speak of what is natural and what leads to peace and happiness Silence, Stillness, Simplicity, Solitude all with s's.
Yep that's what I was going for. Thank You Soren
You are most welcome Gray
Noise and spoken words can bring friction and tension. Silence enables us to recover, to navigate. Well written words.
Thank You Soman
