Quiet Hour

Where the quite becomes words

  • The Companion in the Dark

    When trouble comes to test your soul,you learn to love the friend who stays.Perhaps there’s nothing they can do—the burden still belongs to you.For some roads must be walked alone,and some pains cling to you as your own.There are moments love can’t smooth the path,nor friendship lift the weight you bear.But knowing there is one… Continue reading

  • Wishing for What Isn’t Mine

    Sitting here with nothing to do, my thoughts drift back to you—to the way I wish things could be, even if they never will.These feelings stay tucked away most days,but tonight they rise to the surface,asking to be spoken, asking to be known.I’m not always happy with you;sometimes your words cut deeper than you realize.You… Continue reading

  • The Love I give

    I wished you were mine —hand in hand, side by side.But you chose someone else, and I stopped asking why.I would’ve given you everything,but you never even opened the door.You walked away without a word,and I learned to stand on my own.Now you’re the one with problems,and I pause before stepping in.You weren’t there when… Continue reading

  • The Last Place You Held Me

    If I slipped beneath the world, would your love still reach me?If I looked up from the dimness, would I see the flowers you once left,or have they already wilted in your mind?When the earth shifts around me, it feels like the faint echoof when you remembered me at all.When silence becomes my only companion,I… Continue reading

  • The Way You Touch Me

    When I look into your eyes,I see the life I’ve been reaching for—the one I dreamed of long before I knew your name.A future rises there, soft and certain,as if it has been waiting for us.When your hands find me,I feel the truth of your love.Your touch quiets every fear,tells me I am safe,tells me… Continue reading

  • On This Day (Anna ’97 – ’06)

    On this day an Angel was born ten years agoOne with the most beautiful blue eyes you’ve ever seenOn this day the Lord had called her homeThe one with the straightest blond hairOn this day family and friends gather aroundSaying their last words to the lovely girlOn this day nobody said the words “Goodbye”Instead, they… Continue reading

  • Rest

    Go rest now precious one,Your life in eternity has just begun.Now you can walk, your legs are brand new,All of heaven is now in your view.Look all around, it’s all in your sight,There will never be another dark night.Flowers and jewels, the street of pure gold,I can just imagine the smile on your face as… Continue reading

  • Where Did Our Almost go?

    I said I needed distanceI said I needed spaceBut now I lie awake wonderingWhy the silence feels heavierThen anything we ever sharedI miss the way you touched meLike you weren’t sure if you shouldYet somehow you always knewI wanted you toI miss the way we flirtedIn that soft, secret languageOnly we seemed to understandA smile,… Continue reading

  • Distance Between

    Once, his words were lanterns – Soft flames drifting toward me,Lightning corners I didn’t know were dark.Laughter moved like music,And the air was warm with maybe.Now, the melody falters – He steps back,And silence grows strongI watch the spaces widen,A quiet oceanWhere no bridge will hold.The thought lingers – A fragile petal pressed between pagesWhat… Continue reading

  • Sad but Hopeful (Mirror)

    I paused at the mirror todayCaught off guard by a flicker of recognitionA shadow of the girl I used to beRising beneath the surfaceBut the moment slipped awayLeaving me staring at a faceThat knows how to smileEven when the heart beneath it tremblesHer eyes tell the truthHer voice never doesThey hold storms behind their shineQuiet… Continue reading
