I need silence now
In silence I can breathe
In silence my inner eye blinks
And awakes
I need solitude
Wrapped within my brittle skin
I can dream
And then begin
In solitude
I crave gentleness
A softest touch, a brief desire
Then all is lost
Within the fire
Of pure gentleness
I need silence now
But one word disturbs the veil
And a melody will linger
Like a secret, not belonging
In silence

It is in silence the heart of God speaks to our hearts! I believe! I love silence, and quiet time and this lovely remembrance of silence. Have a wonderfully silent day!
