This Quiet

By Sr. Esther Jeruto Koros OSF 

Don’t be disquieted by this quiet.

The eyelids guarding the soul, kind of were tired.

To the world, it seemed the being out hired. 

A few windows needed closed,

For better acoustics, and accoutrements too.  

A few scales needed shed, and a fatty element or two.

The clichés got to my nerves;

Spoken with little commitment, in halves.

‘It’s okay not to be okay.’

And this was not okay.

 

So the run broke, pursuant of the quitter,

There were songs solemn yet deep, alongside the guitar.

But wasn’t it obvious? How the pursuit sought

To barely acquit its demons from without?

So, away with clichés and clinchers that I hear.

The actual fountain is to beheld only in discrete care.

Because the inner acoustics, delightful rhythmical as a nonet,   

Might be dampened, by the draught from without.

So don’t be disquieted by this quiet, it’s busy, consumed by the orchestra within.

Oh! Such triumph in quiet.
