Quieting

Moment of Reprieve

There were no words

to speak.

None were needed.

In fact, the slightest sound

served as a reminder

of all that had been

too much —

distractions from the purity

of the one continuous

silent prayer

of a life

transforming gently

into the quiet whispers

that had carried it

safely back

into that very moment

of reprieve.
