In Silence

It doesn't matter
So he says
From behind his stony visage
Awkward loneliness
His companion
A heart cries in silence.

It doesn't matter
So she says
Despite her tattered countenance
Raw emotions
Desecrated peace
A heart cries in silence

It doesn't matter
So they say
With fog their close companion
Cold and penetrating
Overwhelming
Hearts cry in silence

It doesn't matter
So goes the myth
That plagues the thoughts of many
Beleaguered souls
Desperate for help
Hearts cry in silence

It does matter
According to God
Our lives do have meaning
Obey His Word
Trust His promises
Hearts in joyful silence
