Silence
The room is quite
my eyes are closed
the only sound I hear is the beating of my heart
I listen closely--and I can hear my heart
telling my life story with each beat

Welcome to Whispers Mary, I loved your "quiet" poem. It made my heart be still. "Be still and know that I am God" is a favorite verse of scripture. We all need to take time to just be still. Thank you for sharing your talent.
