non-conformity

A quiet voice remains
When the world becomes unfamiliar
Warmth returns slowly

Not every darkened cry
Was born with the wish to destroy
Some are lost in night

The house becomes a wood
A doorway turns to a maze
Time forgets its name

Today’s challenge #haiku

Eliot was right.
It ended with a whimper
and not with a bang.
