Quiet and Calm

3/4/2024
Here, alone, quiet fills the air
yet my mind is erupting with thought, doubt
oh! for my mind to be as calm
as the empty room around me, door closed
curtains drawn, no interruption
not dormant, not waiting to explode, just resting peacefully
and if I shall explode, let me explode with joy & laughter
color & light, endless possibility
but for now, let me just have quiet & calm
