The Quiet

The sparrow sits on a bird feeder,
 but never relaxes.
At any time, a hawk may slip down
and end it's dinner.
You though, have the luxury of safety.
Sit quietly, in your own room and to talk to God.

Why should your sitting time
be lost in movies about your prowess
or your progress? 
There is no end to musings about your day.
Go into the quiet. Sink into it.
Own it. It is your Self.
You have longed for the silent,
the retreat,
the peace.
Find it now and it may follow you around.
