Surrounding whisper (Silence)

The warmth of the morning sunshine on my face,

gently opens my eyelids

I take a deep breath, & it surrounds me-

Silence. 

The only thing that seems to understand, 

Comprehend, or care

about the needs of my heart, my eyes, my mind, my soul 

Silence. 

The sound of my exhale 

Is like a whipser

telling me it's ok to let go-

Silence. 

In a world & in an age 

where everything seems to sway you

everyone wants to nudge you

Even without words, 

There's a muffled scream 

with the roll of their eyes, they judge you 

Suggestions, subliminal messages,

horns being honked, 

opinions as they aggressively code their talk

But home alone, I get 

Silence. 

Like a massage to the mind,  

An elixir that goes straight 

through the bloodstream, 

pumped from the heart 

This all comes from 

Connecting to our soul 

Surrounded by what everyone else claims to know

Me. 

In silence.
