Between the Lines

Sometimes,

the loudest stories

are the ones left unread—

the pauses between words,

the space between breaths,

the silence that says everything

without saying a thing.

We rush to fill the gaps,

but meaning lives

not only in what’s spoken,

but in what’s held back.

So here’s to the quiet—

the gentle spaces

where truth settles

like dust on old pages,

waiting for someone

to read between the lines.
