Beneath My Silence poems spanning from 1965 to current

Series – Beneath My Silence – To Be Seen, To Be Heard

I never set out to be emotional. I just wanted to be understood. To be seen. Not just the words I manage to say out loud ~

but the quiet weight I carry beneath the surface, the things I tuck away where no one looks. Some days it feels like people only hear what’s comfortable for them.

They offer smiles, polite nods …

but they don’t really listen. There are moments I feel completely unseen ~

like I am standing in the middle of a storm, no one notices. And still, I smile. Still, I pretend. Even when I’m unraveling inside, clinging to what little strength I have left. It’s not about needing attention. It’s about longing for presence. For someone to ask,

“How are […]

Series – Beneath My Silence – The Sacred Art of Happiness

One day, you’ll come to understand that happiness isn’t found in the appearance of your home but in the love that lives within it. It’s not about reaching a milestone or chasing success but about losing track of time in something that brings your soul to life. True joy isn’t measured by applause or approval, but by the quiet contentment of waking up in your own skin, greeting the day with calm anticipation ~

no matter what it holds. Happiness isn’t about having the finest things but about finding beauty in what you already have. It’s making peace with what is and offering your best, even when the path is uneven. It’s not the absence of struggle or the solving of […]

Series – Beneath My Silence – Healing is Sacred Work

Healing is sacred work. It is not always quick or easy, but it is always holy.

There will be days when you feel like you are standing in the middle of your pain, wondering if peace will ever come. Wounds may reopen, old fears may whisper, and still ~

you keep going. Because deep within you, the Divine is at work. Even when you can’t see it, even when the night feels endless, your soul is mending in ways only heaven understands.

This journey takes courage ~

the kind born not of strength, but of surrender. And patience ~

the kind that leans on faith when your own hope runs dry. So if today feels heavy, let it be. Offer it up. Rest in the […]

Series – Beneath My Silence – When Life Breaks You

When life breaks you, it’s not to destroy you ~ but to awaken something sacred within. Each fragment that falls is not lost but held in the hands of something greater. You are being reshaped, not by accident, but by divine design.

The pieces that feel scattered are being guided to form a new pattern ~

one with deeper meaning, a higher calling. The cracks?

They are holy. They are where grace enters, where light touches the soul and begins to heal. In this breaking, you are not alone. You are being led ~

toward wholeness, toward purpose, toward the person you were always meant to become. You are not broken. You are being blessed with the chance to begin again.

 

 

Series – Beneath My Silence – When Goodbye Never Comes

The hardest goodbyes are the ones never spoken, the ones that vanish in silence without explanation. No final words. No closure. Just absence. It’s the quiet that lingers ~

the hollow pause where answers should be. The mind becomes a loop of memories and what-ifs, rewinding every smile, every glance, every moment ~

searching for clues that were never left behind. But there’s nothing. Only a haunting stillness that stretches on and on, filling the night with questions that never find a voice.

And perhaps the cruelest part is realizing you may never understand. You may never know what changed or why they left. And somehow, you’ll have to live with that. That’s the grief that stays. Not the goodbye ~

but the silence […]

Series – Beneath My Silence – Never Forget Who You Are

Don’t let the weight of life wear you down. Don’t let the world dim your brilliance or quiet the spark that makes you ~ you. Stay the course ~

your journey matters. Even when you pause to rest or heal, never vanish into the shadows of your pain.

Believe in what’s ahead:

brighter days, undiscovered places, unexpected connections, new love waiting to unfold, and sunsets still painted just for you. Never whisper ~

“I’m done.”

The Universe is abundant ~

and you are woven into its fabric. Open your heart wider and receive what is yours to hold. Be grateful.

You’ve made it this far. You’ve survived. Let go of the sorrow and what slipped away. Disappointment is temporary. Love never truly leaves ~

it lives on, eternal. […]

Series – Beneath My Silence – Live in the Moment

In the blink of an eye, a day slips past.

Then a week, a month ~ gone by just as fast. Seasons turn, years fade from view, and one day, it won’t just be me ~

it will be you, too. So maybe, instead of wishing for more time, we should open our eyes, let each moment shine, notice the light, the love, the sky ~

and ask ourselves how we are living, not just why. Let’s be present, let’s be kind, let’s seek the best in heart and mind. Because whether we get one life or many, joy is in the moment.

That’s worth more than anything else. Time moves fast, it doesn’t wait ~

so live now, before it’s too late.

 

Series – Beneath My Silence – Why Healing Feels Exhausting

No one warns you that healing can be exhausting. When your nervous system begins to feel safe after years in survival mode, your body often asks for rest –

deep, quiet, uninterrupted rest. You’re not being lazy. You’re finally safe enough to slow down. Let your body have the stillness it was once denied. You’ve earned it. Rest isn’t a luxury –

it’s a homecoming. You’re healing. And that takes everything. Give yourself grace. This is part of the journey.
