I Missed YOU! – Poetic Mustard Seeds

when I got quiet

I noticed quiet

when I sat still

I noticed quiet

when I forgot the cell phone

I noticed quiet

when I saw the beautiful full blossomed lavender tree

amongst all the not-yet blossomed trees

I noticed quiet

when I placed my bare feet up

facing the clouds

reclined my back towards His grip

I noticed quiet

when all around me was

as still as an artificial flower

I noticed quiet

when the extremely faint sounds of sirens, car horns, and airplanes taking off

became almost impossible to hear

I noticed quiet

It wasn’t until I heard the whisper to go outside

instead of remaining in

to find “that park” I happened upon

parked my car

took off my shoes

reclined

grabbed my book

rested my mind

and read

did I notice quiet

I owe you an apology, quiet

because

I MISSED YOU
