Peaceful moments
Let’s hear the sound of silence,
so take away the noise.
An interval for quietness
can give you so much joy.
Pause to rest your emotions,
for the head to unwind.
Pause for reminiscence
to calm one’s mind.
For time to think is precious,
the thoughts you think are clear.
That inner peace you feel
is an attitude tranquil.
For quietness is a tonic
to heal life’s ills.
