When The Silence Is Piercing

This has been your quiet journey.
A long road in the darkness.
You have let the silence pierce you.
Numb you.

You have let emptiness fill your soul,
But don’t let its cold hands trespass the corners of your heart now.
Remember the feeling of nothing?
When silence was piercing, and your ears rang.
Don’t ache to feel numb again.

May the perfect words escape my lips
And softly sing to your impatient ears…
Not on the days when the silence needs to be piercing to wake you up.
But let it be on the days when the silence has made you deaf.
The days when your eyes don’t smile.
When I need to say the things that your heart needs to hear.

And, let peace begin to shine.
Let the quiet that you have ached in wrap it’s consoling arms around you.
And the silence that has pierced you?
It will pierce you no longer.
It’s voice will be but a lullaby.
