In Silence
In the quiet of my room, I reach
for solace in the keys, the strings,
speak to echoes of my dreams
and drown my doubts in fleeting things.
I’ve whispered tales till voices fade,
shared my heart with shadows, gray,
but silence holds the final word—
No one listens to what I say.
Countless verses, countless tunes,
Still my heart beats out of tune.
The stars above, they blaze and fall,
But miss the message of my call.
I seek the skies, I search the night,
For signs that I’m not lost in flight,
Yet faith feels hollow, prayers fall short,
In an empty court, I play my part.
Once, I longed for all to see,
For the world to notice me,
Now I crave a touch, a sign,
to guide me through this lonely time.
A thousand stories, songs untold,
I feel the weight of what’s been sold.
No one hears the pain I sing,
So why do I keep asking?
Stars, they wane and miss my plea,
In the silence, I’ll just be,
Hoping someone, somewhere near,
Will hear the echoes of my fear.

Author's Note
Sometimes when I'm alone and the heavens feel like stone, my faith falters. I keep pushing through. This was a time I felt lonely.

This is such a beautiful write. We all have human moments, when we don't feel worthy of God's love. But you'll get it back on track. Into the list it belongs. Appreciate you.

Re. In Silence
Sincere confessions, and a moment of self reflection make us know where we are, what we have done so far. And, this is the right place from which we start from scratch another right way, good habits to live happily.
'La nuit and la solitude portent conseil'' night and solitude give advice;..
Stay happy nice introspection.

This reminds me so strongly of my adamant wish for an escaping ufo, which I would most certainly join. That’s probably odd to you, but I just wish to be taken to a better place. It’s a really nice escape to imagine it happening, though. This poem helped me with that. Thank you so much.
