A Welcome Quiet

The waiting room is quiet;

The wall TV is off,

The only noise a conversation

Or a random cough.

 

Oh yes, the elevator beeps

When opening its door,

But otherwise, it’s peaceful,

Rarely noticed anymore.

 

I’m used to TV’s blaring

With a talk show or the news,

Which no one ever watches

As celebrities enthuse.

 

Yet today, I’m being treated

To civility and calm

Which, when visiting a doctor,

Is a lovely, welcome balm.
