I Choose Silence

I choose silence
When there are no more words to say

I choose silence
When my heart is tired and worn

I choose silence
When there is nothing more to do

I choose silence
When the battle lines are drawn

I choose silence
When there is no way forward and going back is not an option

I choose silence
I choose silence

My silence keeps me grounded
My silence keeps me sane
My silence makes me process
The pain and hurt and heartache

My silence gives clarity
Keeping away numbness, emptiness, breakdown, collapse and crumbling

The silence Is my loyal friend
Never betraying. Never disloyal. Never hurting; back stabbing or misusing

The silence Is my compatriot walking alongside me in my solace

A peaceful presence staying true and fervent. Always patiently waiting till I am strong and ready

Even now faithfully awaiting
My new dawn and arising
