My Soul Is Silence

So I’m quiet
And my soul is silence
The quiet of all quiet
And the silence within silences.

And my eyes are closed
Closed upon my heart
So that I can see,
See better who you are.

And sometimes fear screams
For my running away,
While my love says
To stay.

You hold the key
For my soul.
If you hear my loud silence
I will.
