Silence

Emptiness

Rest

way up high above clouds

way down deep below waters

under Bridges and Rainbows

of Woe and Awe

Silence

Wide Chasms between

Pain and Beauty

Space

Between

Not Enough and Enough

Long, Pausing, Commas,

Hard.Stopping.Periods.

Between

Death

and Life

of Faith, and Hope, and Love

i am

in the midst of Here, and There.

Baring Silence, Emptiness, and Rest.

Silence hungers,

is long.

Silence longs,

is hungry.

to be filled, to be satisfied.

silence

strips me

of my voice, my strength, my pride.

uncovers

silent screams, silent motives, silent Pains

of my heart and mind and body and soul

that have no voice

have been silenced

keep being silenced

too long hungry too hungry longing

too long silent

period.

I am Silent.

my hand

covers my mouth

i lie down

clothed

in dust and ash

I am Silent.

Emptied.

i can

Rest.

Be Still

my soul and my body and my mind and my heart

Be Quiet.

Stop.

Be Silent.

Period.

Rest

Pain-Full

Beauty-Full

Rest.

I AM

In The Midst of Silence

Emptiness

Rest

Period.

I AM.

You can Rest.

Here

in this Space

too long Silent

Hungering

Longing

I AM

Here. Period.

I AM.

Filling. Satisfying.

This Space

With Grace

you can rest

Be Still, now, and Rest

In

Silence.

i am filled. I am satisfied

covered and clothed

by Grace

my hands lifted

uncovered and stripped

from dust and ash

I Sing

We can Sing

in 

Silence.
