Silence Blesses Us - a Pantoum
silence blesses us
life is not a quiet experience
ever the friendship of heartbeat
the rush of blood in our veins
and the din of the blustering world
heartbeat ever our friend
it measures out our days
the din of the blustering world
counterpoint, inner and outer
heartbeat measures our days
we must turn inside for silence
counterpoint of outer and inner
it is under, beneath, and prior
turn inside for true silence
trust the big field and rest there
it is under, beneath, and prior
never touched nor seen nor heard
trust the big field and rest there
solace for our broken, sick world
you can’t touch it but you can be it
rest in the silence that blesses
life is not a quiet experience
the rush of blood in our veins
