Peace, Silence Within

Peace, Silence Within

A Poem by Arthur Weil

All stands still

An inner silent �" space

Only the heart throb, the silent beat

A time of momentary rest

Indecisiveness �" spaced out

Relaxation time �" think �" creative ideas

Where nothing matters, even the soul rests

But you, find that inner peace

Noise and demands are shut off

 

Only the quiet self is listening

A personal rendezvous with nirvana

As if time and space stand still

The computer down

Active mind at rest

All can wait

Jobs, business �"

Even heaven is a witness �" absent

For I decide my fate, my future

Non-active

 

All dissipates far too soon

All quiet as snowflakes

Sheer blanket of whiteness to be illustrated

Peace within peace

A momentary calm

 

Your own precious skull and thoughts

                with passion, vision and love

Until the outside world invades

                and turns you into a n occupied, frazzled being

Dancing blindly to nature’s tune of habit

                and demand

Busy, buying, building, bleeding

All about a noisy cacophony

Blind thought, reason, peace

How I ache for the quiet stillness

The free spirit in my silent corner
