The Quiet Listener

There she sits, silently - 

Waiting, always waiting.

Watching.

She knows, she knows it all.

Everything.

Her pages are home to thousands of words,

Words that were never spoken.

Her binding is fragile,

Like the secrets she swallows.

The dreams she devours.

There she sits, silently  - 

Waiting, always waiting.

A quiet listener.
