"Days Gone Quiet"

In these moments...

Where our world stands still...

We realize the true meaning of time...

Each breath bridges into the next

Eyes outline the structure around us

Steady and firm we exist...

With our feet out in front of us

Our mind takes photographs

Filing them deep within the resting place of our memories

Listening to sounds of the voices of the ones we love

The taste of life once accelerated...

Now seemingly paused...

When the days have gone quiet

Till we hear the true heartbeat of life

Breathe...

We are more than this

If you over analyze...

You become paralyzed...

So, we do it in spite of it all

Let the fragrant passion flow

From dreams to waking moments

Life will always roar

But truth lives...

Our ability to find beauty and peace in the midst of it all

To embrace care over deception

To not be a slave to fear

We will recognize this for what it truly is

And allow ourselves a reprieve

We will look to the dark places...

With our fiercest conviction

And say...

Not today

Because yesterday is already gone...

And tomorrow is yet to be.
