Pages Turn in Silence

One breath and I'm in the room begins to hum

Paper edges whisper, sunlight finds the grain

Rhodes is writing softly, lines that ease the strain

Dust like tiny comets, drifting over wood

All the middle hours holding what is good

Pages turn in silence, keep the daylight near

Let the gentle margin underline it clear

Pages turn in silence, open, slow, and wide

Carry every reason safe inside

Clock hands learn to linger, windows stay half open

Steam from porcelain tells stories left unspoken

Pencils draw a pathway, calm across the page

Every little heartbeat settling the stage

Pages turn in silence, keep the daylight near

Let the gentle margin underline it clear

Pages turn in silence, open, slow, and wide

Carry every reason safe inside

If the city calls and tries to pull me through

I will save a paragraph with room for you

When the colors fade, we'll trace the brighter line

Folding quiet letters into time

Pages turn in silence, keep the daylight near

Let the gentle margin underline it clear

Pages turn in silence, open, slow, and wide

Carry every reason safe inside

Carry every reason safe inside
