Do you understand the reason for this

Do you understand the reason for this

Constant drain

The trickle that becomes a downpour

An irritating drip

You cannot stem even though

You seek to control the flow

Do you worry

That one day it may simply go

Or do you hope to cut it off

Its very life throttled into non-existence.

Would you be free to observe

And participate

In relative peace and quiet.

The interlude of noisy silence

That has been a constant companion

The internal drone

Of words and thoughts neutered.

The world in its blind turning

Will not pause,

Nothing of consequence

Has ever stemmed its

Heavenly evolution.

The train of rambling thoughts

May be blunted ,

Infernal rumination halted,

Internal fears deadened and withheld

Their dialogue never played out in poor disguise,

With half truths and un-resolved philosophies

Shunted into a siding,

From whence they will not impact on the day to day

In quite the same way,

With the governance of the universal

Sanguine and unaffected.

Its covenance an effigy,

Unadorned by thought and deed.

The celestial bell tolls in absence

Of rhetoric and eulogy.

It chimes in ignorance,

Unaware of internal revolution,

Perplexity and confusion.

It does not sidle, nor does it loiter,

It is neither idle nor is it fulfilled.

Silence is not an end,

Nor does it become, the beginning.

It is but an option, no more, no less,

A temporary solution.

And any words you

Choose to read or say

Do nothing more

Than keep the inner wolf at bay.

And the howls of protest you so adore

Are nothing more than the voices,

You have so wilfully given,

To the sound of your very own,

Internal choices.
