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
