Nothing to Say

I have nothing to say.

Which is strange,
because my mind
rarely gives me silence.

I’ve been away.

I’ve been thinking.

And whatever happened to me
is still happening.

Maybe that’s why
I keep reaching
for words
that aren’t ready
to belong to me yet.

    Silence is golden and brings some of the best thoughts to mind in time. Keep in a good place and words arrive like this great poem.

    You will find the words, and make them your own. In time…

    Sometimes silence says more than words can. Praying you find peace in this season and that the words you need come in their own time.
