Admiring With Quiet ©Molli Paige

our history
transposing my condition

daily I breathe in

this new place

coming to terms with

seeing you, yet not

admiring content

with quiet

leaving the key

on an invisible band

around my neck

held close to my chest

quietly I breathe in

admiring content

seeing you, yet not

I don’t mind

I’ve gotten used to it

the glass case

looking through it

the shiver of a whisper

not enough to shatter

nothing getting through

sitting silent, watching

coming to terms with

seeing you, yet not

admiring

content

with

quiet


accepting the past
and admiring the present
