Keeping silent, <br />Standing alone and apart. <br />Being quiet, <br />And holding a heavy heart. <br />Truths unknown even to you. <br />You stand in silence <br />Not knowing what to do. <br />You close your eyes in heavy sleep, <br />When you realize it must be a dream. <br />For if life is really the way it may seem... <br />How can we call it a gift we are given for the time to keep? <br />When for this life.... <br />We would much rather close our eyes in heavy sleep.<br /><br />Poet of the River<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-is-it-really-a-gift-thought/
