Listen to poem:

Peaceful Noise 159

There is a peaceful sound
That comes from a deep place within
When the high desert winds
Blow and ruffle and sting

Stilling the soul becomes an artform
The painting of azure blue
On the hot canvas of trauma
Sealing it's cooling aura in-situ

Centre down, take control
Close out the world acting so scarily 
Remember the deep well of truth
Draw up the fresh water momentarily

Drink deep of the calm crystal clear
To feel the lying hurricane of fear
Lose it's false power
Become free and your true self again

I love your wordplay here, so well written and spoken. Seamless alliterations and as i read this i can also here the crashing of waves: this poem has a philosophical depth and conveys such intriguing thoughts, especially love “ remember the deep well of truth.. fresh water momentarily “ so deep and profound! And true! Truth is alwys prevail. And draw out the noises. Loved reading this

Again you bless me with your attention and praise. I did enjoy crafting this one, I guess I am more invested in truth than deception. Separating the two is sometimes hard when life is grey. Love is a great revealer of truth. Bless you for your own brand of Inky kindness and generosity :) My heart is full.
