The Quiet Space Within

The quiet space
is a small window
where the heart learns to breathe

When the hand that tries to add more
finally rests
the outline of the world
rises in silence

After the sound fades
stillness remains
and in that stillness
the voice of the self
returns softly

The quiet space is not emptiness
but the place
where unseen things
begin to appear

By not filling too much
light finds its way through
