I Love To Be Quiet

quiet a few hours ofsolitude and silence detached and withdrawn fromeverything (nothingness) oh sweetthepeace and tranquility in this self-appointed silent quietretreat of mine far from all responsibilities I savour thestillness the sounds distantandmuted (faraway) a wind-mobile tinkling somewhere birdschirping (unseen) sweetly stillness softness peacefulness Oh happiness Iamnotforsaken with loneliness but just alone with my soul (hushed) such splendid isolation seclusion (remoteness) I love this time cutofffromtheworld aloneness forgotten are worldly matters Ihavethrownthem away detached quietness tranquility and I am inner deepwithinme lost in beauty (silent) wrapped in the warmth ofmyquiet infinite thoughts ________________________ July 24, 2015 Poetry/Free Verse/I love to be quiet Copyright Protected, ID 15-694-316-0 All Rights Reserved.

Over here, you can buy a curtain that hangs outisde your open door, to keep insects out- it consists of many strips of brightly coloured material, all separate from each other, and the breeze makes them dance as it flows between them. That's what I thought of when I read your poem, BW. Lovely. Viv x ps- This is possibly the most bizarre comment you'll get this year :)
