Silence Blesses Us - a Pantoum

silence blesses us life is not a quiet experience ever the friendship of heartbeat the rush of blood in our veins and the din of the blustering world heartbeat ever our friend it measures out our days the din of the blustering world counterpoint, inner and outer heartbeat measures our days we must turn inside for silence counterpoint of outer and inner it is under, beneath, and prior turn inside for true silence trust the big field and rest there it is under, beneath, and prior never touched nor seen nor heard trust the big field and rest there solace for our broken, sick world you can’t touch it but you can be it rest in the silence that blesses life is not a quiet experience the rush of blood in our veins
