Quietness

Beloved quietness


My closest friend


Peaceful tranquility


Delightful serenity


No need for noise


To aggravate me


Infuriate and frustrate


Pressure and penetrate


Give me the fortress


Of curious quietness


Captivating thoughtfulness


Apart from people clamorous


Troubling nothingness


Quietness is my bliss


Full of inner tenderness


By which myself I kiss


Nurture and nourish


Awaken inner brilliance


Resurrect with resilience


Overcome painful defiance


Pushy people who torment


Waste my precious life


To foolishly be spent


Upon their own aims


Frivolous pursuits


With quietness I refute


Am most resolute


Ready to engage all


Wise enough to shut out


All outward distractions


Pathetic seductions


Evil devilish attractions


Fight for my splendid focus


Every minute and fraction


In quietness is satisfaction


Creativity to awaken


Potential in an instant


Transcend needs to wants


In quietness with thyself


You may be most blunt


Bold and forthright


Putting small talk


Far out of sight


In quietness all wrongs


Are eased and made right


As your inner self talk


Gets you through the night


Overcomes every plight


Causes life to be bright


Quieting every fight


Lovingly hold thyself tight


Ah yes, quietness my friend


With me until the end


Whatever end my come


How it shall be I know not


But surely quietness I've got


This marvelous and majestic


Inner sanctuary of the soul


Wherein I when weary rest


Am miraculously made whole


As I partake of the fruit bowl


Of my thoughts and meditate


Countless emotions wonderfully arise


To feed me and my appetite satiate


Time is unimportant. I'm never late.


Whenever I want it, I go deep within


Far better it is than a bottle of gin


When jittery or feeling fragile


I never need to hesitate or wait


Spending quiet time is a great date


Feasting with quietness is most great.
