SILENCE

I sit here and
there is nothing but noise.
The sounds of the house,
the computer,
the music Zoe is listening to,
and the radio playing in my head.

It is hard to hear
the messages of the Divine
when my head is filled with nothing
but noise.

So I find a space
where I can sit and turn off the noise
outside my body and inside my head.

It is in that space
where I hear a symphony
in the silence
where I can contemplate
the questions of my heart
and hear the messages
that come from deep within.

When I sit in this space of silence
I invite that which dwells within me,
to surface
and to offer me that which
I can only hear in
the silence.
