Rain drops distort the flickering lights outside my window to a somber blur
The stillness finds me restless
But the silence doesn’t move me to speak
and break the serenity I feel in this moment,
under the covers
Hiding from everyone but me
Slipping deeper into myself,
I search the corners of my heart and mind
Not for answers
Not for questions
But for a statement that will enlighten me
Where so many others have failed
Some days I am my own greatest companion
My body and mind know what to do to give me pleasure
And in this stillness
I cherish the thoughts I keep unshared-
Secrets are so delectable.
