the canyon is quiet today even the wind seems to be holding its breath like it knows something big is coming or maybe something big is already here and i'm just too blind to see it sometimes i feel like i'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop even when things are good because that's what i'm used to that's what i know how to brace for but what if there is no other shoe what if this is it what if this is just…peace. i almost don't know what to do with that kind of quiet. it makes me want to run. but i won't i'll stay right here and listen to the silence and maybe…just maybe…i'll start to understand.
