I treasure the silence within me
The place where my heart truly sings
The silence envelops my soul's desires
It hears... what my soul truly dreams
The sounds of the world surround me
Stifling the words... within my mind
Can't hear the thoughts within me
As they disappear thru onslaught of time
I look inside searching for answers…
To questions…that torture my soul
For I feel God talks to me; within me
In the silence; my understanding does grow
In silence…alone…I am able…
To find answers; hidden deep in my soul
To listen; to hear my heartbeat within me
To follow where He does want me to go
Silence…brings to me the wisdom…
Without distraction of the world and its claim
It allows me to hear…ME…not others
To trust my spirit; God’s voice…once again
