sometimes, words come in the quiet

 

 

in the quiet i can hear my thoughts

i can hear the dogs breathe, my own breathing slows, becomes deeper

the sound of the fans, the house settling

the small, simple sounds of the clock ticking

the squirrels running on the roof
 

in the quiet i remember

i remember bad decisions and good ones

the stories from years past roll like movies through my memory

when life was slower, less urgent
 

in the quiet i wonder

i wonder about her, is she really doing well or just saying what she thinks i want to hear?

how are you? really?

is his heartbreak going to heal?

will we be able to retire?
 

in the quiet i also find calm

no one's asking for anything, needing anything

i can just be

process the memories, work through the doubts, recall the love
 

in the quiet i can hear your voice, 

your calming words

see your face, find peace

i can move beyond the past, put it away

think about the future
 

in the quiet i can start over 

be renewed

 

 

i know we're all busy, so thanks for taking the time to read
