in the quiet

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
