Mask of Quietness : Poetry

Mask of silence - MeenalSonal

I don't wanna listen,
And don't wanna brighten.
Just wanna be quiet,
Listening to Inner Ocean.

Never wish to hurt someone,
By dropping sense while drunk.
Want to be calm and silent,
As words of anger could be blunt.

I’m not being lethargic,
Just heeding soul music.
There’s surely an answer,
A prayer that will conquer.

Often silence could be a partner,
An everlasting pal round the corner.
Have heap of topics to hear and share,
Also slowly soothes away despair.
Loudness is all-around,
Scorches ears with high sound.
Just along with my quietness,
I see the world again with brightness.

Do you wear such masks of Quietness?
Does such act gives you peace within or you feel the urge to say something?

  1. Oh, I do think that silence is often a good partner....better, in fact, than that loudness which is all around. And a person who listens to the inner ocean is a wise one indeed! Nice to see you.

  3. I could so relate to this poem, Sonal. I work in a noisy environment where phones ring all day long. How love the quiet and night to collect my thoughts. Saturday mornings are my favorite time of week, there is not a single noise in the house but the purring of cats and the clicking of my laptop keys! I cannot think in the noise, and sometimes it is very hard to silence it. I think we all long for that place within us that is calm. Lovely poem!

    1. Thanks Josie for kind words. Finding a quiet place becomes a challenge sometimes, but when heart calls for it all background noises goes mute and one listens to soul voice.

  4. I love the idea of an inner ocean of quiet and glad you can find it even in your loud environment. By the way the source of the photo is me, Peggy Goetz. I guess I forgot to put that on the prompt. Thanks for using my photo.
