Quiet Room

Somewhere, in the deepest depths of Me
There is a sound
The sound of Silence
The sound of a million words never spoken
A thousand sorrows never mourned
A hundred melodies never sung.

The sound of a heart breaking
The sound of a life living
The sound of a fear dying
Or seeing the light of day once more.

The sound of all the rights
And of the wrongs too.

The achievements
The failures.

There is the sound of happiness
And of misery.

The sound of apprehension
And of comfort.

The sound of the dark
And of the light.

Of trust and mistrust
Of faith and disbelief
Of truth and deceit
Of strength and weakness
Of perfection and vice.

This is the sound of Silence
This is the power of a quiet room.
