unspoken

Silence is not defeat.

Silence is not complacent.

Silence is not mystique,

nor is it impatient.

It’s a knowing.

A peace.

A longing and a waiting,

for calm,

for protection

of the heart from incessant scathing.

Silence is for healing,

for boundaries and for growing.

For wounds to be tended to

and to find the inner knowing.
