Insight

She creeps quietly into the room
She stands, silent, in the corner
Can you hear her?

She only ever whispers

She comes not with loud clomping footsteps,
Nor banging door
She comes quietly
She stands
She waits
She whispers


Be still
She will not shout
Be still
Keep silence
Be still
And hear, and know


She stands on the edge of your consciousness
Just there, just beyond what you can see
Waiting for you to be still
Be still!

She whispers
But when she speaks
Her words roll loud as the thunder
