Q

Quiet

The sound that is pure stillness

It is the totally stillness and quiet of the early morning

Or the evening hour when all the lights have been shut off 

When all are tucked in to dreamland until the morning light

It is the quiet on the trail heads when I go hiking

When all I hear is the call of nature

The breeze that whispers through the forest

Singing a love song to all who will listen

Quiet is when I get up early

Put on the coffee and sit in the stillness as I say my morning prayers

As I speak and listen to the Father above

It is the time just before a big test.

That quiet of the brains humming with the tapping of the pencil

Wishing the test was over 

Knowing that you past 

Because you were up all night studying until you fall asleep 

With you nose in the book

Quiet is that moment when you are sitting on the edge

Waiting for that perfect moment to scream

To hear the echo of your voice

Across the miles

As it races through the air

Quiet is that moment of time after the baby has cried and cried

Then suddenly there is nothing 

But...

That total silence 

Knowing the baby is now fast asleep

Quiet is nap time after a long afternoon at the park

Quiet is that moment and space in time when nothing is heard 

But the sounds that runs the house

The business

The city

The humming that low pitch sound

The noise of nature 

Blissfully living its life

It is the love of being where

I can view nature in its fullness and hear

The love songs of the birds 

As they go about their business

Quiet is the evening sunset with the one you love

Where no words are exchanged

But the look and the touch

That says that was beautiful

No words needed

Just that moment of

Perfect love

Peace and quiet

So many things can be found in the quiet and the stillness

Resting in the Father who first loved me

As I write in the late night 

With the quietness surrounding me

As I tap the keys

Quietness is wherever I can catch that moment of sanity to regain 

My peace of mind.

Where do you find your quietness?
