In the quiet it waits that dark dry place. Where thoughts avoided shatter peace and memories roam so free of leash The pains of heart in noise he escapes but in the quiet it waits The thoughts avioded in days clutter never heard past constant mutter, they all return once voices stutter and cease to drown the ponders inner Still in the quiet it waits Head laid to rest, rest out of reach as thoughts again will shatter peace and once again when he awakes For in the quiet it waits So into noise he wades with speed to clear his head with busy deed The clash and clang of action breeds peace of a kind in tethered mind Still in the quiet it waits Distraction holds a brief reprieve Until the sounds begin to thin and day dreams darken, distort, deceive becoming the thought he sort to leave He knows that time will bring release That troubled thought will one day cease and peace will one day, in the quiet wait.
