Whispers of Tranquility

Sing soft and low

Incessantly

Yet we shall only hear the Song

When we pause to Listen

When we Belong

To all that Whispers soft and low

Transcending calamity

Releasing woe

Touching the Divine – An #Exercise of #Mindfulness

As the pace of life quickens and demands pull at us from every direction, it is more important than ever to find time to recenter our thoughts, our energy, our essence.Being Mindful of ourselves, our bodies, our place in the eternal cosmos isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, I grant you, however, I think it can be agreed that we all, in one way or another, need time to regroup.Some do it through listening to music; others read.Some will meditate or pray, while others, myself included, very often simply sit down amid the beauty of nature, close my eyes, and seek to sense all that is around me.

Feel the Lingering Breath of Day, Caress my skin with Smiling,
Under the Soothing Reassurance of the Golden Setting Sun,
Close my eyes,
Breath is Still and Calm, Sweet Repose Long Sought,
Birdsong fills the Deepening Twilight, Echoes of the Dawn of Time,
Darkness meets my Questing gaze in Emptiness,
Alone,

Draw a deeper breath,
Sweet Tranquility Reaches out,
Brushes her hand across my hurried thoughts and distracted musings,
Resting upon my Upturned cheek
As the Softest Touch of evening Unites with rhythmic breathing,

Deep

Silent

Still

Into the Depths of Quiet Being,
Transposing the chaos of everyday into Harmonious Liturgy,
Heartbeat sounding in my hearing,
Reminder of Precious Life,

Deeper

Quieter

Lingering Longer,

As the Gentle Touch of Your Thoughts finds me,
And Instantly I Smile,

Home

Blessed

Transformed

Time slips through the glass as Union breaks the bonds,
Unfetters the shackles of worry and suppressed fear,
Kisses my Spirit with Peace and Sublime Serenity,

Inward

Placid

Abiding

Hovering Wings of Majesty,
Love Falling like misty rain, Surrounding, Enwrapping, Invigorating,
Catalyst of Untold Alteration, Merging, Joining,
Tears of Quintessential Joy Softly Singing,

Breath

Upward

Return

Refreshed, Renewed in the Lavender Light,
Birdsong fading, Cicadas Droning, Darkness Falling,
Eternity Calling,
Deepest, Cleansing, Stirring Sigh,
Turning my Face Toward the Starlit Sky
In the Presence of all that Truly Shines,
In Moments, Alone,
Touching the Divine

The Hush of Stillness – #Mindfulness & #Harmony

.

The Alluring Hush of Stillness sings softly to my heart and spirit, ever calling from the incorporeal ether of time and space; humming quietly in the chaotic rush; transposing the incessant clamor of the here and now. Ever present, like the delicate glow of a single candle against the darkness of night, the Hush of Stillness asks me to pause, draw a deep breath, and sense the Treasure of the moment. For within the pulse of each fraction of time; amid the suspirations of the hands of the clock, and throughout the dizzying turn of days the Hush of Stillness lingers.

It is serenity nestled quietly like a dove in the swaying branches of the evergreen. It is tranquility dancing upon the water, sparkling like the shimmering show of morning. It is harmony descending gently like fluttering snowflakes spiraling in the storm of life. It whispers through the turbulent noise of existence to the inner essence, speaking in tones only the soul truly comprehends.

Yet, if I close my eyes; if I stop to see the sparkle of starlight; when I stoop to brush my hands across the waving fronds of wheat swaying in the breeze; as the golden rays of the setting sun caress my cheek and the coolth of an evening zephyr runs its fingers through my hair the Hush of Stillness becomes perceptible. When the evening carols of birds breaks through calamity; when the shades of Autumnal foliage or the blushing colours of Springtide turn our heads; when the soft serenade of crickets replaces the bluster, the Hush of Stillness finds distinction.

Rest in the Silence
As Light becomes the pulse that beats within
As Shadows sigh in Indigo song
Breath in Stillness
While Patience smiles from the sparkling dawn
While Charity bends in resplendent simplicity
Join the chorus
Of the Hush of Stillness
And allow its symphony to be
The only blazing congruency
Within.

.

Written in response to a comment made by my friend Rajiv at https://rajivchopra.me/ , who was inspired by the phrase, The Hush of Stillness, I recently used in a poem and suggested writing about how the Hush Inspires me.
Thank you Rajiv for a Great writing prompt 🙂
