Silent skies

Noise and chaos 
is the world outside 
while silence is our inner self. 
Stop and reflect 
every once in awhile 
escape the world 
that rages outside. 
A sacred place 
of peace and tranquillity 
sheltering beneath silent skies.

This is my second comment. I think it’s time people stop playing peace.. because there are people being killed all over the world and we make believe in poetry that we write a few words and I’ll be all gone. Oh no it won’t.. I can’t even tell you the amount of people that would like to kill me famiies, and with worth the murderers are honored. . That is why you haven’t seen me around. Death brings no peace,. Telling me to shut up, won’t work..Pangie

Hi brother John, sometimes we need our sacred place, away from the facades we may have to face. We learn who we can trust, and who we cannot. I’ve found that out to my cost, now I’m keeping away from the rot… Sis Beryl
