Keep Calm

In an age of beeping sounds and endless notifications,

The true king is the one who takes moments of solitude—

Silencing gadgets, muting the artificial hum of machines.

A time when silent ghosts,

Long hiding behind the buzz of alerts and digital chatter,

Can be heard, named, and gently tamed.

A time when the hushed suppressor gun,

That’s been poking holes in your soul—

Disguised as emojis and virtual affection—

Can be detected… and silenced forever.

A time when one can truly keep calm,

Listen to the tides of life, Feel where they blow—from and to—

And adjust the sails as needed.

A time when the soul is given permission to shout,

And the silent voice of the Lord is finally heard.
