Searching for Silence
Outside
a pristine silence reigns.
The silence of snow
falling from the sky.
Muting all sounds of life.
Quieting the noise.
Bringing stillness.
Each snowflake
uniquely composed
gathers with the others
surrendering individuality
for the collective
collaborating
to create
beds
of fluffy
marshmallow.
Inside my mind
cacophony rules.
A hailstorm
of ideas
and thoughts
pounds
with
unrelenting fervor
fighting
for attention
each one
striving
to be noticed.
Searching
for silence
I surrender
to the whispers
of my heart
