Poetry

---

Nonstop room noise
Overpowers my mind
Taking the place of

Introspection.
Nowhere quiet

To
Hear the
Eternal

Words of life and love,
Instead there is a steady flow of
Nagging narrative
Demanding to be heard.

Each day, each moment,
A fresh batch of
Rambunctious racket attacks my
Thoughts, taking my time, my very life
Hostage.
Quickly the minutes, days, and years disappear
Uncensored,
All muddled together like a
Kaleidoscope of
Escaped energy.

Oh, for
Reprieve

From the
Incessant
Repetitive rumblings which
Effectively

Blot out life and
Undermine all peace and
Tranquility,

Assaulting my sanity and

Generally overpowering
Everything important by its tyranny.
Nevertheless, this noise will cease for
The time has come. I determine to
Listen
Earnestly and

Wait till all this
Hellish hullabaloo
Is finally
Silenced.
Peace reigns at the end of each storm, earthquake and fire.
Eventually quiet
Replaces the cacophony of chaos.

Out
From the silence I

Lean toward heaven, hoping to hear the beat
Of God's
Very heart toward me.
Echoes from Heaven, gently caress, whispers of love sweetly kiss. I hear His love.
