"this place is a shelter"

this is a place of unadulterated quietness - the queer kind of quietness that emanates when the lift door closes in a crowded place & inhibits your breathing space: you are entrapped, but the feeling of safety anchors your soul & you feel claustrophobic no longer.

this is quietness that is borne from a feeling of rest - that is birthed from hope, not resignation.

this is quietness that carries you out to sea & swallows you whole - but you float instead of fight, & avail yourself to be eaten whole.

this is the kind of quietness that is gentle & yet demands to be heard,
the kind of quietness that is of the heart & cannot be simulated, nor replicated
on whim.

this is the quietness of hope.

(87 days, but You are my quietness; You are my Hope)
