There is a space
between what you say
and what you truly mean
__
Live there for a while
__
Let the noise fall away
like coats shrugged off
at the door of your own mind
__
You are not empty
when you are alone
__
You are gathering
__
Every silent morning
polishes something unseen
inside your chest
__
The world will knock
with its bright alarms
and urgent hands
__
Answer it gently
__
But keep a room within you
where nothing shouts
__
Where your thoughts
sit cross-legged
and simply exist
__
Stay there long enough
and you will remember
__
You were never lost
__
Only unheard. 🌿
