The Quieten Soul

There is a kind of silence I seek
Some quiet resolve near impossible to find
An inner soul perhaps in dire needs
With simply the outer layer forgotten behind

Almost everyone is to awake similarly
Beginning the day with without purpose
Searching perhaps for nights to sleep soundly
For an eventual... the better the worse

And the everydays isn’t what I’m searching
I heed for commons to be real and uncommon
A quiet desperation without voicing
That one silent voice to simply listen

Perhaps closer I am than I am to know
Too close perhaps to know its never real
Moments without given time to show
To have moments remembering unseal

A quieten time in people to find
That quieten soul be who I seek
Alive with the outer layer left behind
That one kind of silence be all I need
