She stands, embraced, in a vast field
where she can both lose and find herself,
where sunflowers lean, shoulder to shoulder,
faces tilted, ready to listen for things
she can’t bring herself to say—
a slender figure in white, barefoot
among the whispering stems.

The sky spills wide, endless and tender,
and she—just one small part of this silence—
listens to the earth keep quiet.
It is enough, she thinks to herself,
here, where questions scatter like seeds,
where the wind remembers to help carry
what can be let go—a cool hand
brushing her cheek, carrying the scent
of wild grass and the songs of unseen birds.

Beneath her feet, the soil breathes,
as if to say, stay—just stay.
She knows she’s small here—
but so is the sun’s last warmth,
so are the petals, one by one,
catching the day as it drifts away.

She could speak, let her thoughts
come out into the open,
but for now, this silence is enough.
A pause in her voice as the evening
hugs her like an old, trusted friend—
and she finds herself, somehow,
held gently in this quiet moment—
this, she admits, is plenty.

This is where silence blooms.
Where Silence Blooms—Marc Morais

I rise like the Phoenix from the ashes of despair
like a bird that soars cutting the air

I rise like tides drawn by the moon
flowing in crystal water dunes

I rise like winds that spin in rings 
the dawn of the sun that lights night's wings

Like the luminous moon with it's pearly hue 
a glow that transforms the midnight blue

Like the rainbow in love with golden light 
I rise from greys with colours bright

I ride on waves that surge ahead 
the beat of currents on ocean beds

I soar. I swoop
Yet I rise and rise
Every moment that I breathe 
The breath of life
It doesn't stay neat—
nothing does.
Not the room.
Not the mind.
Not the feelings
I have for you.

I spill everything out—
ink, blood, tears—
whatever I hold
too tight.

Even the rain
trips over itself
but you call it
beautiful—
you always do.
I buried your number
In a pool of empty digets
I forgot your name
After you mentioned it at the bar
But for the life of me
When I woke up the next morning
Your face stuck to the back of my eyelids
like lead set in tar
And for dear humanity
While I drank my black coffee
I couldn't remember anything about who the hell you were

She is strong
She pulled herself through strong winds,
Roots gripping the earth, refusing to break.
She survived with little care,
Drinking from the silence,
Holding on when no hands reached out.

She never complained about the thirst,
Welcoming the sun, even when it burned.
She learned to bloom in shadows,
Happy with the little attention she received.

She stayed, even when neglected,
Spreading fresh air to breathe,
A silent companion when no one else was around.
A quiet strength, unseen yet unwavering.

She stopped withering away.
She adapted.
She grew.
She became more than survival—
She became life itself.
I took for granted everything,
colors of every hue.
I didn’t know those colors
filled my world because of you.
 
So, like the fool I am
I let you go, too blind to see
that on my own I am just alone
and things turned out to be
 
where colors slowly slipped away,
the yellows, greens and blues.
And now the only color left…
is the memory of you.

Another small step is all it takes.
A frightening depth beneath myself.
Another small step to front or back,
will decide my fate in life or death.
The step was planned; I saw the drop –
My heart fell down; I felt it stop.
A step, a start, my future saved –
Another small step is all it takes.
I loved every part of you—
Your smile, your gaze,
Even your anger.

When you cried,
And your tear-stained eyes met mine,
I saw myself, buried deep inside them.
