Unspoken life

I will carry your memory in my heart

Under the cover of skin

Silently beating in ways

Others would resonate with

If they understood

I will remember too that often

Words cannot speak the entire truth

Of what a soul suffers and holds inside

And that such things can be

Communicated silently

To those who are sensitive enough to feel or sense

What may be hidden below

I will try to remember

That not everyone

Finds it easy to express love

That some souls keep in hidden

In a dark place

Out of fear or who knows what other wound

And that sometimes it is just enough

To open our hearts to feel

What may be hidden in the shadows

Or the subtext

Of an unspoken life
