In The Quiet Poem by Darrell Scott

IN THE QUIET

In the quiet, I find peace
Where the outside noises cease

When my mind has settled down
And my thoughts no longer race
In the chambers of my spirit
I have found a secret place

There the unseen things embrace us
The invisible that's real
And we there enjoy the treasures
That activity would steal

Hear the whisper of the poets
Who have beckoned us to know
Of that inner sanctuary
Where we seldom ever go

In the quiet of my being
Creativity is born
And it rises to the surface
To a world that's hurt and torn

Deep within me, love replaces
All the anger and the fear
In the stillness is a KNOWING
Who I am and why I'm here
