Poem Title:
Poem
I love my quiescent moments or being in a quiescent state of mind. Many times in my life, I submerge myself in quietness, stillness when I am alone. Times when there are concerns, issues, matters important to me or to my children or to someone I care that are out of my control and I could not do any damn thing. These moments of quietness, stillness leads to contemplation, connecting to myself and my innermost thoughts for understanding or insights to accept that I cannot do anything. Accepting that I also cannot help somebody no matter how hard I try and I cannot do anything, if he/she does not want to do anything and it is not a failure in my part because I tried my best. There are times when I am with a company or group finding myself in a quiescent state of mind. When I don’t want to listen to either one of the three C’s: complaining, criticizing and comparing. When I don’t want to hear boasting or me, me, me. When somebody just keeps on talking, not listening. I am in their company physically, but not really with them for I rather be in my quiescent state of mind.
