What’s Left Unsaid

What’s Left Unsaid

Beneath the clamor of a thousand tongues,
Where silence like a phantom clings and clung,
There lies a shadow deeper than the grave—
The weight of words we dared not brave.

In corridors where echoes sleep,
The unsaid truths in darkness creep,
A whispered hint, a fleeting glance,
The lost refrain of circumstance.

A silence held for fear of pain,
A truth too sharp, like acid rain,
Would tear the fragile veil of peace,
And drown the calm in fierce release.

 Find Inner Peace

Within the heart’s vast, silent expanse,
Lies a place where chaos has no chance.
A haven hidden from the world’s demands,
Where calmness flows like soft, shifting sands.

Inner peace, a treasure profound and rare,
Unbound by riches or the clothes we wear.
Not in fame nor fleeting pride,
But in the soul, where truth resides.
