Quiet Contemplation

What is this life, if, full of noise
the clamour of the world destroys
that still, small voice of calm within
whose fainting trace grows ever thin?

A life without a chance to pause,
ears stifled by this world's applause,
may fail to hear that whispered voice
which leads the spirit to rejoice.
