Be Quiet

In silence,
you can hear the tunes
of crickets in the night

In silence,
you can hear the sound
of leaves as they spiral
in the wind

In silence,
you can hear the gentle
flow of spring water
from the mountains

In silence,
you can hear the whispers
of your conscience
deep in your soul;
whispers that act as invisible
guides in our lives
