Poetry: Calm

by Lori King

The Quiet

As I sit alone the thoughts of the world pass me by

There is nothing but the beat of my heart and the sound

Of the clock ticking as time seems to fly

But all of these images and thoughts in my head

Just fade away, now quietly dead

I do not hear or feel anything else

Only a quiet upon my soul
