Notes About The Poem

Quiet

Quiet

Be quiet. 
Be soft, and silent. 
Don't let the rough world, 
take from you... 
even one more thing. 
No. 
Instead... 
Be quiet. 

Prayers spoken without sound, 
drive evil insane. 
He/they/them... 
can not hear the voice
inside your head. 
It is there for you, 
and God alone. 

Sleep... 
Be at rest if you can. 
The days are full of chaos, 
and crying. 
The wind is sighing, 
and the birds are flying... 
away. 

Faith, 
to bring Light into the cave, 
where darkness wants to take away, 
all that is beautiful. 
Do not fear, 
stand and be ready. 
There will be a remnant. 
There will be a few. 
There will be only some, 
but not many. 
Not forgotten, 
planned for, 
and prayed for... 
in the end. 

Shh... 
be quiet.
