amid all the noise
and commotion—
you’re sick of not finding it
I find silence all around me
I don’t crave noise
and commotion—
yet I’m beginning to find
the silence
deafening
I won’t exchange
silence with anything else
at any cost
Yet it annoys me,
it frustrates me
as if I want to
scream against silence
Meaningful
thoughtful
silence—
I crave
Where we are
understood
without words
The silence that
connects our souls
to share our heartbeats
…and every other beat that—
throbs
pulsates
breathes
