The Serenity in Silence
Silence is the space where peace resides, A refuge where the spirit hides. It's the calm between the notes of life, A pause that frees us from the strife. In silence, there's a truth so pure, A moment where we find the cure. It's the stillness that clears the mind, A place where clarity we find. So seek the silence in your day, Let it wash your cares away. For in the quiet, in the deep, There's a serenity that we keep.
