Silence Is Golden

A welcoming timeout

Shush, listen in delight to the lack of auditory perception that surrounds you when your world quietens.

**

Inner peace gently settles upon you as you slow your racing heartbeat to incorporate the lack of sound immersing your immediate vicinity.

**

Listen to the absence of those that have walked away giving you the cold shoulder, knowing that they no longer hold a relevant place within your life.

**

Enjoy the quietude that allows you to surrender your troubles to the universe as you welcome in the tranquility of soothing thoughts.

**

Notice the peacefulness of your surroundings within the void that allows your other senses to excel and your inner chatter to quieten.

**

Calming noiselessness that evokes immense possibilities and the absolving of your darkest mind chatter.

**

Envisage and manifest your greatest desires within your muted environment as you work on becoming the very best version of yourself.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
