As an adult I have come to greatly value a little quiet time. I take it as often as I can get it – especially as an introvert and a mom! So many wonderful insights. So many wonderful calming thoughts. And yes, so many wonderful poems come my way when I embrace a little quiet time. 🙂
I like to let the quiet in –
To wrap its arms ’round me.
Then sit with just the two of us
So, my thoughts come easily.
To let it whisper to me now,
The things I need to hear.
To let it whisper to me how
Those things I need not fear.
And tiny thought by tiny thought
I gain new insight too.
As tiny thought by tiny thought
Leads me then to what to do.
Problems that seemed big before –
Now I see the way.
Outdated thoughts I used to have –
Replaced with a better way.
And when distractions come along
To fight the quiet here,
I send them back to where they were,
Back with noise and fear.
For we are good – just quiet and me –
As we spend some time alone.
For there’s many things that we must get
Together on our own.
