The Quiet In The Room by MwsR

There is something that is greater still

Then moments we have expressed

Some things are left unsaid

All you get are echoes of their clarity

Some are remnants of struggles

Of things that leave us perplexed

Often we don’t even notice until

We are contemplating things while sitting by a windowsill

Extraordinary means to a possible surrender

It would seem

Fragile people with broken wishes

Ones that left them disabled in emotional healing

Because of their heart’s feelings

Somewhere there is a quietness in the room

One that all of this and more, consumes.

Jaded experienced people would not understand

The moments that have occurred and thus lent a hand

In the quietness, you find there,

Find anywhere, honestly.

If you are compounded with a lot of stuff

Remember what is can be returned to dust

None of us should forget

The quieter things get the more people have had regrets

The more peace some may find

You’ll know when it is your time.
