The Silence
June 28, 2013
I came upon the silence without deliberation
Passively she came, without hesitation
That infinite silence
Verdant
Vacant
Lush
Quick to reassure, “it’s no rush,” she said
“Wait,” she said
Wait idly in the silence
The infinite silence
Until I can silence fire
With more fire
Cold blue fire
In the silence
I am lost now in the silence
Sublimated and kind
Oh, kind silence
Do
I
Love
