When The Silence

What We Need To Keep Us Away From The Edge

When The Silence A Night Cafe Creation by Mike Singleton

Just a few thoughts on how we feel at times,

Sometimes we really need quiet and time to ourselves.

Other Times We Need Company

I usually feel the latter, but actually have to make do with the former.

    I like this. Very easy to read and understand. It represents a multitude of emotions!!!

    I can so relate to both kinds of need. For me, the quiet time alone is hard to come by, but I guess semi-quiet time with family is the next thing to it. I am sorry you are sick. Sore throat is the pits. You might want to gargle with some warm salt water and drink some warm chicken broth. That was always part of my mom's TLC when I got strep throat. Take care of yourself and get well ❤️‍🩹 soon!

    Self care for sure . The song good so well with the song choice ♥️🥰I totally agree with the poem. I hope you feel better soon.

  • Heather Hubler2 years ago

    Yes!! That was so well done and exactly how I feel on many occasions–both the singing and the screaming. Loved it :)

  • Cathy holmes2 years ago

    This is incredible. Well done. Also, love that version of the song.

  • I'm an introvert who likes being left alone so I prefer the silence to sing instead of scream. Loved this brilliant poem!
