Turn Away
Turn away…
Far away from the ever streaming noise, rioting
The endless flow of useless chatter and rhetoric
Bombarding in attempt to arrest my psyche
Seeking to break down defenses
Searching for a hairline crack!
The clamor, deafening; the surge, relentless
Grinding into senses, demanding notice!
Folding into my every waking moment
From dawn through the height of day
Ferocious, bold, they hang deep into night
Sleep comes slowly, yet at times brings no respite
Like ink they seep into dreams
Long after the twinkling stars are hid
By the expanse of a navy velvety sky
Turn away…
Turn away to welcome the silence
In midstream, day or night
I must tune into myself; turn away from constant din
Let them fall into vast emptiness
Fall upon the heap of useless chatter
I will listen to the silence; savor the music in my soul
Hear the rustling leaves on tree branches
Glistening in the noon day sunlight
Beneath cloudless baby blue skies!
