The Deafening Silence

Is it silence that is deafening, or my anxious heart that is screaming?
What is it that i hear?
Surely it can't be the silence, because silence is exactly what it is - silent.
Then it has to be the tempest within a heart that races
And it takes silence to surface it.

"find rest my soul
in christ alone
know his power
in quietness and trust"
