Keeping Calm (Poetry)

Deep inside each angry sound
that wraps us round,
surrounded by the scream of winds
and the roaring sea,
there is a tranquil core -
a space where noise is kept at bay
and thought is cordoned off
from all the rushing clamour of the world -
the senseless lash of waves -
life’s brutal storm shut out,
peace gathers in
this place where stillness broods
one perfect egg of quiet
and keeps it warm.
