Poetry: The Music of Noise
by Liam
“The quieter you become the more you are able to hear.” Rumi
Before making quietude my practice
Before the sweetness of silence caressed my ears
Before stillness graced the kitchen table
Noise noise noise
Swept around my hearing all the day
While the music remained unheard
Pour that quality invisible, sweet and rich
Into your listening, your life, your love
Hear the whisperer
Hear the heart sweetener
Hear the music deepener
By making quietude, my practice
By the sweetness, of silence which caress my ears
By stillness, graced upon the kitchen table.
