Words that are spoken when nothing is said
The sounds that we hear, we should have listened instead
A deafening silence has become our cocoon
On this road that we’ve traveled we arrived way too soon

A need ever-present now certainly lost
In life’s forward motion had we measured the cost
So we go day to day passing each other by
Never taking a moment to even ask why

In this time of reflection, looking deeply within
Seeking answers to questions, where do I begin
So I sit and I ponder today as before
Is there more for me lying beyond that closed door
