Bellow

I wish there was a gap An opening an aperture A great big empty hole Where silence echoed Through and through And swept us off our feet Its roar would overwhelm us Drowning out all noise And in a bellowing stillness We’d finally be able To hear ourselves And others think How awesome would that be AP: 1st place 2020 Posted on February 23, 2019

I absolutely LOVE this poem, and am somewhat envious of people who can meditate... Having PTSD, I am not fully able to withstand that much silence.... but you make it sound amazing! ;)

Dear Rhona, balance is the answer. Can't have too much of a good thing.
