SILENCE MY FRIEND

 
Silence shouts louder than a thousand words ,   in it the soul finds peace .
To the monkey mind calm ,  to unrest a balm ,  daily upsets and irritants abate and cease.
Solitude is energy recharge ,  without which the spirit might tremble overwhelmed ,
Over challenges bereft , over choices adrift , like a blind sea captain at the helm
 
Solitude is the space where our true assets appreciate,  our gifts multiply and extend .
The resource of time ,  for the soul sublime ,  satisfying hours that fulfil  though they may end.
Silence is juice for that creative mind ,   for ideas and patterns to seamlessly flow ,
Sideline disquiet &worry ,  sort out thoughts in a hurry ,  focus on the stretch ahead as you go . 
 
Solitude magnifies our world around  , the circle of influence you can indeed control  ,   
Never mind the news , negativity that serves to confuse , the devil stirs disquiet within the soul .
Stand silent and strong ,  through days cold and long ,  face your fear and doubt with courage
Speak only words that heal ,  think positively until you feel ,  select carefully mental language.
 
Silence was created to nurture the musical soul , sing praise to the heavens and of that I am cert ,
Harmony is the space between the note ,  not constant sound by rote ,  opines a pianist  introvert. 
It is in solitude that i write ,  these laptop keys tap ahead and spirit becomes the leader , 
Fuelled by a break in routine , from a Sabbath pure and clean , comes poetry to enlighten the reader.
 
Be together with yourself , enjoy and explore ,  coax out latent talents and art refreshed  ,
Shine the light within , not doing so a sin ,  lest loneliness and alone-ness get enmeshed.
In solitude you will love what you discover ,  an empowered human being – so called good and bad ,
Essential parts of a whole,  actors each with a unique role ,  no boring constant but exciting nomad.
 
Begin and end each day with stillness ,  meditate on blessings galore – peace for the wandering soul,  
Alone but never lonely  , joyful focus the one and only  way forward to achieve that goal.
Visualize  the good that you intend , the kindness you will sow … and when the day is done ,
All incidents gratefully review ,  synchronicity and failure anew  - sleep soundly  the long day is won.
