"Silence You Keep"

Published in, “Passages Of The Heart”

An anthology of Canadian verse

Poetry Institute of Canada

Sometimes words are not needed

For the tears shed tell their own story...

We are the keeper of the life within us and the dictionary that defines our being

You may know a persons name, but not their story...

You've heard what they have done, but nothing of what they have been through...

Sometimes we do what we must to survive

To make it through the darkness that we carry within us

For it can last longer than the night

Things in life will only repeat themselves until we learn from them...

Time cannot be bought

Every moment has to be lived

Borrowed...

Stolen...

Earned...

Or existed...

Three important things to remember

Health...

Happiness...

Heart...

Let go of the ghosts in the past

Stop the haunting

End the silence that keeps you

Find the root

The core of your being

Live it out

Its your every right to dwell within happiness

Dream...

Create...

Inspire...

Carve it out upon the great tapestry of reality

And when shadows fall over the rising sun

Its your turn to shine bright.
