(267)▪︎[ Silence Is … 4•12•2022 ]

[ In The Darkness Of The Night, All You Hear Is Silence ]
[ Others Do Not Hear A Thing ]
[ Or Look For Any Guidance ] 

[ What Should You Seek When You Do Not Hear Any Noise ]
[ There Is Not Even A Choice ]   

[ Of What To Hear ]
[ If You Hear Voices ]
[ They Do Not Annunciate Very Clear ]  

[ Is It Okay To Have A Voice Inside Of Your Head ]
[ Is That The Voice That Directs The Dreams & Nightmares That
     Play Like A Movie While You Lay In Your Bed ]

[ A Wise Man Once Told You That All Of The Pain That You
     Have Racking Your Body Starts In The Head & Then
     Resonates Throughout ]
[ When You Have A Pain ]
[ It Is The Brain That Lets The Body Part Know What It Is All
     About ]

[ There Are Times When You Have (2) Different Voices Doing
     Battle ]
[ Thankfully It Does Not Sound Like A Couple Of Rattles ]

[ Are Those The Good Or The Bad? ]
[ The Happy Or Sad? ]

[ Is The Saying (SILENCE IS GOLDEN) Wrong? ]
[ That Does Not Make Gold Look Too Strong ]

[ Some Gold Is As Hard As A Rock ]
[ Some Gold Is As Soft As The Hair On Top Of The Head Of
     Goldilocks ]

[ If You Are Laying There Listening To The Silence, That Means
     That You Are Not Asleep ]
[ By That Time The Average Person Would Be Sleeping Really Deep ]

[ That Is (1) Privilege That You Have Had About (22) Years In
     The Past ]
[ You Wish You Knew What You Did Last ]

[ You Can Barely Remember The Waking Up & Feeling Rested ]
[ It Has Turned Into A Sore ]
[ That Sits There & Festers ]

[ Deep Sleep Is A Privilege,  Not A Right ]
[ Everytime You Go To Bed ]
[ Getting Some Deep Sleep Is A Huge Fight ]

[ There Are No Words Exchanged ]
[ The Bedding Does Not Have To Be Re-Arranged ]
[ Or Changed ]

[ Trying To Go To Sleep Takes Indivudual Effort ]
[ Oftentimes It Takes All Of Your Energy ]
[ Like You Just Competed In A Sport ]

[ When You Are Downtown You Are Envious About How Some Of
     The Homeles Can Just Lay Down & Sleep On The Sidewalk Or
     The Park ]
[ You Probably Would Be The Last Person That Would Be Invited
     To Sleep On Noah’s Ark ]

[ How Do The Homeless Have Trust? ]
[ They Fall Asleep Out In The Public, Because They Have Trust ]
[ They Sleep On A Sidewalk Downtown Because They Have Trust ]
[ They Keep All Of Their Belongings In A Shopping Cart Because
     They Have Trust ]

[ Or Do They? ]

[ That Is A Lifestyle That You Would Not Wish On Your Worst,
     Most Annoying Neighbor Who Owns A Boat That Doesn’t
     Work ]
[ Even If He Was The Biggest Jerk ]

[ You Just, Would Not ]

(1051)▪︎[ Falling … 12•18•2021 ]

[ You Sit There ]
[ Hoping That This Would Help You To Repair ]

[ The Noises That Are Going On In Your Mind ]
[ Because This Is Far From ]
[ Going Dakine ]
[ That Is Something That Your Conscious Mind Has To Tell
     Your Subconscious Mind ]

[ So Sit Back & Relax ]
[ Make Sure That You Take Off Your Mask ]
[ So Your Breathing Is Not Taxed ]

[ Let’s Go ]
[ Into A Place That You Really Don’t Know ]

[ & That Is The Place Of Total Relaxation ]
[ The Opposite Form Of Maxation ]

[ Not Letting Your Mind Go Somewhere ]
[ Because It Cannot Go Anywhere ]

[ So You Sit Back & Wait ]
[ For The Gate ]

[ To Be Opened ]
[ Then ]

[ You Start To Fall ]
[ You Don’t Reach For Your Phone, To Make A Call ]

[ Because Then ]
[ You Find ]
[ That Everyone There, Is Irrelevant ]

[ Except One ]
[ The One Sane Person That Is Not Done ]
[ On This Run ]

[ You Are Still Falling ]
[ In Pitch Black Air ]
[ & You Are Not Balling ]

[ Your Eyes Out ]
[ Because This Little Hour Of Time ]
[ You Have No Doubt ]

[ That You Were Safe & Sound ]
[ From All Sides Around ]

[ The Falling Part You Could Not Comprehend ]
[ Was It Supposed To Lead To A Dead-End? ]

[ Or To A New Beginning ]
[ Where There Is Nothing But Winning ]

[ So What Happened To Nice Guys Always Finishes Last? ]
[ Well That Was With Another Cast ]

[ The One Person In Your Life That Is Always Relevant To You
     In Your Life ]
[ That Is Nicole, Your Wife ]

[ Forever & Ever … Amen ]
[ She Has Always Been ]
[ The (THEN) & The (WHEN) ]

[ Of Your Past ]
[ Present ]
[ & Future ]

(953)▪︎[ The Silence … 11•10•2021 ]

[ After You Spilled Out How You Were Feeling ]
[ You Were Talking About How You Were Dealing ]

[ With Your Life ]
[ With Your Kids ]
[ & With Your Wife ]

[ What Almost Started A Second Of Violence ]
[ Was After You Really Talked To Your Friend From The Heart ]
[ Her Response ]
[ Her Reply ]
[ All That Was Said … Was Silence ]

[ Not A Single Word ]
[ Was Uttered ]
[ Or Heard ]

[ With You Thinking That She Had Been Your Best Friend Not
     Just For Years, But For Decades ]
[ When You Were A Much Younger Age ]

[ She Pushed You Through Some Of Your Hardest Years ]
[ You Have Held Her Up ]
[ When You Helped Her Face Her Fears ]

[ You Have Been Through Thick & Thin ]
[ When Things Were Not The Fashion ]
[ But Letting Her Know What (WAS IN) ]

[ When She Answered You With Silence, You Were Floored ]
[ You Wanted To Run To The Door ]

[ Except You Were In Your Own Home ]
[ Why She Did That, Will Never Be Known ]

[ You Could Not Bring Yourself To Open Your Mouth, To
    Talk ]
[ You Had Nothing, After You Balked ]

[ The Silence Was Deafening ]
[ The Silence Was Threatening ]

[ What To Do? ]
[ What To Do? ]
[ Right Now, You Don’t Know What To Do ]

[ So You Left ]

(881)▪︎[ Silence Is Best @ Times … 10•18•2021 ]

[ Someone Once Said (TO BE SILENT IS TO BE ENSLAVED) ]
[ Does That Also Mean (IF YOU ARE SILENT, YOU ARE WELL
     BEHAVED?) ]

[ You Don’t Always Believe That When You Are Silent, You
     Are A Slave ]
[ You Are Not Always Loud When There Is Something You
     Crave ]

[ Sometimes Silence Could Actually Be The Answer To A
     Question Or Situation ]
[ Sometimes It Comes From Major Irritation ]

[ Sometimes Silence Is The Best Thing You Could Hear ]
[ You Never Want An Argument Starting Near ]

[ You Could Get Silence From Anyone ]
[ Depending On The Situation ]
[ Silence Could Say A Ton ]

[ You Could Think That You Are Being Ignored ]
[ It Could Also Mean That The Person That Was Being Silent ]
[ Could Have Bored ]

[ Not Everyone Has Something To Say ]
[ Or Some Could Be Irritating In The Worst Way ]

[ Those People You Really Hope Would Remain Silent ]
[ Or Quiet ]

[ If You Don’t Have Anything Nice, Than Say Nothing @ All ]
[ Maybe, Better Luck On The Next Call ]

[ When Some People Say That They Want To Put Their (2)
     Cents In ]
[ You Want To Give Them Change Back ]
[ Then Ask Them If They Would Like To Try That Again? ]

(627)▪︎[ Making The Silence Last … 7•28•2021 ]

[ When You Look In The Mirror What Do You See? ]
[ Do You See The Person ]
[ That You Always Hoped You Could Be? ]

[ Why Can’t You See What Others Can See In You? ]
[ Is It Because You Don’t Want To? ]

[ Why Not? ]
[ Is It Tough Being Put On The Spot? ]
[ Is It That Hard To Re-Evaluate What You’ve Got? ]

[ Others See Your Potential ]
[ They Have Said That How You Go Through Life Has
     Been Influential ]

[ To Others That Are Where You Came From ]
[ Show Others That Are Quiet ]
[ Not Dumb ]

[ Sometimes Silence Is The Best Answer That Was Never
     Said ]
[ Sometimes Let Your Silence Get In Their Head ]

[ So Much So ]
[ They Become Lost ]
[ Making Things Seem, That Now They Don’t Know ]

[ What They Are Talking About ]
[ Leave Their Heads Swimming In Doubt ]

[ Maybe Next Time They Won’t Come @ You So Fast ]
[ That Is How Can Make Being Silent Really Last ]

(620)▪︎[ Some People … 7•26•2021 ]

[ Sometimes People Need To Get Out Of Their Own Way ]
[ Like What They Say ]
[ To Make It Through Their Day ]

[ To Even Reach The Norm ]
[ Some People Will Have To Try To Conform ]

[ & Get Rid Of Their Arrogant Attitude ]
[ Because That Ruins Everyone’s Mood ] 

[ & When That Does Not Do Them Any Good ]
[ They Think That Everyone Else Is Wrong ]
[ & They Are Misunderstood ]

[ Everybody Else Is Wrong ]
[ Is Their Favorite Song ]

[ They Sing That Song To Themselves Every Night & Everyday ]
[ ( I AM NEVER WRONG! ) Is What They Say ]

[ There Just Seems To Be One Problem ]
[ They Just Can’t Get Anybody To Agree With Them ]

[ Sometimes What They Say Is Misconstrued ]
[ But Then Other Times What They Say, Comes Out Rude ]

[ They’ve Never Met ]
[ Someone Who Could Sit & Go Over Proper Etiquette ]
[ With Them Yet ]

[ They Have Asked Around ]
[ There Are No Volunteers To Be Found ]

[ Nobody Has The Patience ]
[ Their Asks Are Always Met With Silence ]

[ Silence Is Not Their Friend ]

(592)▪︎[ @ Times … 6•29•2020 ]

[ Sometimes When Things Get Loud ]
[ I Instantly Want To Get Away From The Crowd ]

[ & Stand All Alone ]
[ So I Can Just Be On My Own ]

[ But When I Look Down ]
[ There Is No Other Person Around ]

[ Was The Noise ]
[ Just My Own Voice? ]

[ & The Reflection I See ]
[ In The Mirror ]
[ Was Just Me ]
[ Standing Here ]

[ Then How Do I Get Away? ]
[ For Just One Day? ]

[ What If I Spun Around Until My Head Will Spin? ]
[ I’d Probably Fall On My Butt ]
[ & Never Want To Do That Again ]

[ I Don’t Want To Go Outside Because Of All Of The Violence ]
[ I’d Stay In & Create My Own Silence ]

[ Sometimes Silence Is A Good Thing ]
[ Sometimes I Like The Smiles ]
[ That It Brings ]
[ The Smiles & Good Times ]
[ That Are Not Attached With Strings ]

[ Nothing Asked For, Nothing Borrowed ]
[ Not A Single Demand ]
[ That Needs To Be Delivered Tomorrow ]

[ Everything Is For Now! ]
[ There Is No One Peeking Around The Corner ]
[ Asking ( HOW? ) ]

[ Nobody Around To Not Believe You ]
[ Everybody Around Takes Your Word ]
[ @ Face Value ]

[ Ever ]

(109)▪︎[ Sometimes Silence Is Best … 2•1•2021 ]

[ @ Times It Seems Like We Live In Such A Hateful
     World ]
[ Where People Are Not Too Nice To Each Other ]
[ We Use So Many Words ]
[ That We Would Never Say In Front Of Our Mother ]

[ If We Did, We Would Get Slapped In The Face ]
[ Then Put In Our Place ]

[ People Forget That Words Can Slice ]
[ Deeper Than A Sharp Knife ]

[ & The Scars That Are So Deep ]
[ Are The Ones That We Keep ]

[ A Cut On The Knee ]
[ Has Never Hurt As Much As The Cuts That Nobody
    Can See ]

[ People Always Have A Choice ]
[ About The Words They Say, When They Use Their Voice ]

[ Oftentimes The Words That You Have Heard In
      The Past ]
[ Are The Memories That Last ]

[ Blurring The Memories Where You Used Your
     Sight ]
[ But Not Forgetting What Was Said During Your Last Fight ]

[ Words That Are Said ]
[ Get Stuck In The Other Person’s Head ]

[ & Harder To Forget ]
[ Then Remembering How You First Met ]

[ Some People You Meet ]
[ Don’t Turn Out To Be A Treat ]
[ That Is When You Realize ]
[ That In Some Situations, Silence Can’t Be Beat ]

(792)▪︎[ The Silence Makes It Strong … 9•17•2020 ]

[ @ Times, Silence, Is The Backbone ]
[ But It Seems To Most ]
[ This Small Fact, Has Never Been Known ]

[ It Stops The Arguing, In It’s Tracks ]
[ Once The Hurtful Words, Have Been Said ]
[ They Can Never Be Taken Back ]
[ Then They Stick Into The Memory Of Their Head ]

[ Then The Mumbling Under Their Breath ]
[ Has You Questioning The Depth ]

[ Of Their Comprehension ]
[ Of The Conversation ]

[ That Was Short In Length ]
[ But Long In Strength ]

[ But Sometimes Words Said Behind A Mask ]
[ Are Hard To Hear ]
[ Then They Have To Ask ]

[ To Be Told Again ]

[ But Only Silence Is Now Heard ]
[ There Should Not Be Another ]
[ Spoken Word ]

[ & Now You Sit Back In Your Chair ]
[ Think About How Things Worked Out There ]

[ Now You Can See How Silence ]
[ Will Not Cause ]
[ The Arguing & Violence ]

[ Case In Point ]
[ Nobody Yelled ]
[ Or Got Bent Out Of Joint ]

[ So There Were No Rules To Bend ]
[ As I Point To This End ]

~ The End ~
