Silence

 



There is the silence of the darkness

of the house before dawn


The silence of the waiting room

before your name is called


The silence in your breath spaces 

out-silence-in-silence-out-


The silence of your expectations

of your longing and desire


The silence of the park just after the rain

The silence of the distant horizon


There is the silence of the sun rising and the sun setting

Of the woods before the advent of birdsong


That will break the silence that has been gathering 

all though the night long...
