The Quiet Storm

Have you ever beheld the deep silence within you?
I have beheld it:

When hope lies shattered,
When loved ones depart for minor reasons,
When the world unites against me, despite knowing the truth.

When I'm powerless to fight for my rights,
even with the strength to do so,
When justice is silenced, and my voice is stifled.

Then the wars raging within me slowly die,
And in the stillness, a profound silence emerges.
