Hush. Hush.

For a moment, go within.

Close the curtains on your eyes.

Breathe belly deep. Breathe deep.

Stop the strident voices of alarm

in the computer of your mind.

Turn off the programmed brain.

Pull the plug on fear.

Breathe deep. Breathe belly deep.

Plug in to all that’s calm and kind

in a loving heart and mind

to face the World again.

(March 26, 2020- Shelley Wilson)
