A chapter in the book A Window On My World

Golden Silence

by LisaMay


Confronting crisis,

clamour of catastrophe

ev’rywhere abounds.

It’s too much for me.

Shut up, shut up, shut up, now!

Too close for comfort.

I turn the news off;

overdose of disaster

needs gentle relief.

Stuck in amber tones,

golden honey of silence

slides into my soul.

Author's Note:
While it is important to keep informed, sometimes the news can feel overwhelming, especially hearing the terrible statistics of deaths elsewhere.
I often find comfort in silence, but too much of that can be a mood-downer as well - it can make me feel like an insect stuck in amber, in suspended animation.
