Quietude

Curved in a ball thinking Cars roaring by -muffled. Crickets chirping -muted. Eyes closed pondering Everything is still. Except my heart- ...beating Everything is hushed. Except my mind- ...speaking Everything is quelled. Except my soul- ...opening to the wonders of Quietude **submitted for Paula Swanson's Say the Word Contest :)

Way to go, NIkko. Congratulations!! I like it very much. I entered mine at the very last minute. It was one that failed miserably in another contest too. hahaha. Maybe one day a judge will recognize its genius. NOT!! Luv, Andrea

Nikko, thanks for entering my contest. I almost saw the poem and hurried to see this one instead. (It will be hard to avoid knowing the "real" authors. haha) But I see you used a beautiful word Quietude here! Is this for the sounds contest. It's marvelous. LUv, Andrea
