A Silent Welcome
A Silent Welcome
...into a deeper conversation.
A good sleep
seems to silence
the majority of voices
daily holding court
inside my head.
After so much noise
the quiet is deafening,
and all those things
which speak so subtly
begin to make sounds.
As my body relaxes
my soul emerges to converse
within the spacious silence.
It whispers
in a strange language,
yet I distinctly hear the words,
Welcome home!
Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.
~ Francis Bacon
