What do you find when you are quiet?
A hurt body,
a mind that doesn't stop,
an alibi relationship,
the lack of a hug and a look.
What do you find when everything is absent?
The words of silence,
the wisdom of an old man,
your forgotten dreams,
unprocessed trauma.
What do you find when you are quiet?
The tangled fears,
the voices of your ancestors,
the caresses not given,
a million unrealized ideas.
What's happening? Why don't you stop?
What have they told you about rest?
What beliefs do you carry?
I tell you what they have told me
What do you find when you are silent:
you find yourself and your soul,
to your child and his dreams,
to the infinite possibilities
and a voice that is your intuition
that eagerly awaits you to be heard.
I tell you what you find when you are silent:
love,
the silence,
peace,
and at the wrong time
waiting for you
with open arms.
