There are times when you have nothing much to say,

when silence is enough to witness your day,

and you need that space just to be

to live

to go on.

You see the world around you

as people go rushing about

to where they ought to go,

and you simply notice

and see

and accept.

Things from the past

are held safely

where they are cherished

but where

they do not disturb

the present moment.

Concerns of the future

are also held safely

where they are thought of

but where

they do not steal

any of

today’s joys.

The sun rises

where it ought to rise,

the sun sets

where it ought to retire.

All things happen as they should,

all things happen as they would.

And the quiet in our hearts

surpasses the noise of our times.

We have nothing much to say,

but our hearts are full,

and our souls are filled

with people and things

that truly satisfy.
