The Silence

Heart felt heart aches make the loneliest nights seem cold

To move through the pain seems a mountain I cannot unfold

Climbing it seems daunting, a task that is asked of me

I fear not the silence,

But the unfolding

 

Everything feels heavier

A movement churning inside my core

The weight of the sadness

A choir and a roar

 

Find stillness in this moment

Connect with who you are

Who you have been

Who you will be

When silence

Is not the everything

 

Ignoring shadows has never felt so real

The whisper of the elders

Floating so close to my ears

A yearning to sit by them

A yearning to be understood

A yearning, to be heard.

 

She cannot take the silence,

Any more
