Poem: Too Much Noise

Too Much Noise.

Everyone has a key.
Everyone has a solution.
Everyone has a promise.
often for a fee.

Clutter is easy.
It is all around us.
Noise. Anxiety.
False choices more often than not.

But none of the keys are yours.
the truth lies in silence.
In looking inward.
The hard place,

the only place
to break free.

About this poem.

There is too much noise in today’s world. Everyone wants to sell you something, get something from you, persuade you to be what they want you to be, tell you what you are, which so often is not what you are.

The truth is in us. It shows itself when we look inward. When we push back, walk away from, the noise. That is where God lives. That is where truth lives. That is where peace lives.

Be well. Travel wisely,

Tom
