Know that moments in silence kept, Will effectively remove stress and unrest. Many accept as a part of life. Many accept as a part of life, Confusion. To deny it had been sought. Obtain that needed peace, In the quietness that silence brings. And don't demand from it anything. Just sit. With a giving of it time to appreciate. In the quietness, Conflicts can be decided to avoid. Lawrence S. Pertillar As You Find Me
