There is a place
few dare to go,
A place dark as the night.
It is a place
that must be traveled
by faith,
and not by sight.
It is not a place
for the faint of heart,
or those controlled by fear,
or those who can only accept
what they can see, or feel, or hear.
It is a place
that lies deep
within the human heart,
A place that many of us
only know in part.
For some it is a place
of refuge and of peace,
For some it is
A place where the noise
and turmoil cease.
For some it is a place
of love and ecstasy,
For some it is a place
of heartache and misery.
For some it is a place
where they confront
their greatest fears,
For some it is a place
where they shed a millions tears.
For some it is a place
where battles are won and lost,
For some it is a place
to be avoided at any cost.
For it is in silence
where we confront ourselves
one on one,
And decide what we are going to do
and deal with what we have done.
For it is in silence
we get to know ourselves for real
For it is in silence
that we really fine out how we feel.
For it is the place
where all can be said,
where the truth is really told,
It is the place called silence,
the mirror of the soul
