RAPID CYCLING POEMS

SILENCE

SILENCE          

Sometimes it pays to sit in silence, to let the quiet fill the void 

Allow the heavy lull of stillness calm your manic mind to sleep

Sometimes it’s good to have tranquillity, to curb the tongue and censor speech

Just permit some inactivity, noiselessness is such a treat

Such a feat defies probability, and possibly you won’t complete

But sometimes silence is so very necessary

If your sanity you wish to keep.
