Quiet

Quiet is a new happening for me
In a world full of such frustration 
Of banging, chatter, shouting with noise
To find silence is rare indeed

Quiet is a new place for me
In a mind full of such pace
Ideas, frustrations, worries abound
To find calm is happiness, such peace 

Quiet is a new distraction for me 
In a life of deadlines, of times
Making a mark, remembered one day
To find contentment, the only goal

Quiet is a new sound for me 
In a time of great interruption 
Never a moment to be clear
To shut it out is the key

Quiet is the only for me 
Whether alone or surrounded
Sweet is the hum of its name 
A moment’s quiet found just for me
