Sound of silence
Couldn’t escape, thought last year was the last time,
I’m too old for this, but I’m sat in a field half way up a Welsh mountain/ hill at silly o’clock in the morning
The camp is still asleep only sound is the wind whispering through the trees…
Far cry from the hustle and bustle of daily routine
Family camp and junior camp to cook for over the next two weeks
Great fun but hard work
Just hope my legs and back will last the course (the joys of getting old)
Sat here this morning was inspired to pen the following:-
Sound of silence
Woken up by the radio alarm bursting into life disturbed my sleep
Turned over tried, but sleep alluded me
Worldly news and option fill the void between my ears
The cacophony of noise invades my brain
Can’t turn the volume down
Can’t escape
Try to flee the invading thoughts the world dictates,
Frightened of the longed for deafening sound of silence
Yet desperate to escape to that place,
Even if it only in my mind…
That place,
Where silence reigns
There’s nothing,
Nothing except tranquility, quiet,
Peace of mind,
Where reality rules and you learn live,
Learn to know how to…
“Be still…. And know I am God”
