Afraid of the Silence

Afraid of the silence
By Michelle Morris

So many people are afraid of the silence
They can't handle the space between the notes or the words
They struggle when nature is still and contemplative
They fill up the emptiness with things and addictions

But everything needs space and time to flow
Everything needs space and time to grow
Everything needs space and time to heal
Everything needs space and time to feel

Silence is important for reflection and calm
Silence is important to sense the mood before the storm
Silence is important to truly hear pure sound
Silence is important to feel your own inner grounding

Embrace the silence and appreciate its gifts
Enjoy time alone and work out what you are feeling
Understand your own thoughts and energy
Learn to understand the rhythm and the beats

So many people are afraid of the silence
But perhaps if things were quieter there'd be less violence
There's too much busyness in the world outside 
And if you never hear the silence you'll miss when God speaks nearby
