In the stillness I try to quiet my mind.
In the stillness I strain to hear
your voice,
your wisdom,
your insight.
In the stillness I am aware of everyday sounds,
the clock ticking,
the hour chiming,
the redbird chirping.
A car passes,
time passes,
life passes.
Stillness please come and remove all other sounds
and let me hear your voice to be my guide this day.
Written by dear friend, Lindsey Ein. I inserted her words in Bing Create and it generated the image. Lindsey will read her poem aloud today at dVerse LIVE.

This is beautiful, LIndsey. I’m reminded of an early morning or even an evening prayer. Time to take oneself inward….and yes…hear these sounds which, in a sense, are part of the actual stillness. A place of serenity you’ve achieved here….taking your reader with you. Beautifully done!

Hi Lillian, I really like this poem. I wanted to say today that I can relate completely to a need for a little bit of silence and alone time. Life is just such a whirlwind and when you have a family, you never get a minutes peace. I do adore my family, but silence is golden from time to time.
