Pockets of Silence

In our emotional
life
we have many
pockets
where we store
our countless
feelings

There’s one for
joy

and one for
sorrow

one for
pride and
one for
shame

there's one
for fear
and one for
peace

one for love,
one for
hate

In these pockets
you know
what’s there
even before
you reach in

But what
could be found
in a pocket of
of silence?

Its very muteness may
cause you to think:
Nothing

But go calmly,
and it's here
where you’ll find
your true
self.
