1372

Switch off the CD player

Unplug the MP3

Turn off the television

Come, turn your mind to me.

Turn off that conversation

You planned but didn't make

Forget the acid put-down

Fired up to make them quake.

Cut through the endless buzzing

Of things you didn't do

Drop all the endless thinking

That stops me getting through.

For only when you're silent

When the birds begin to sing

And you hear the rabbit eating

Can I start to bring

My peace to still your yearning

My love to fill your soul

My joy to surprise you

Myself to make you whole.
