In the Wake of Silence

Gratitude to Frances Wymbs for inspiration

Nothing more deafening than a blank page

I missed connection today because my page was silent

Blank pages weep when my fingers are as silent as my mouth

And when the silence of the blank page is broken, Inspiration blooms.

Fresh air, my soul strengthened amid the peace of silence

I imagine the power of water silently moving towards its home

I don’t have to hear it, I may want to hear it, but I don’t have to

I know it’s there, and it will not stop because I cannot hear it

It just wants to BE. Thank you Silence, Thank You

I would never have known you fully if we were not together in silence.

The chatter of life eliminated, the wisdom spirit emerges

Surely, silence creates kindness, expanding the paths of possibility,

fertilizing the foundations walking together produces

Then the silence is broken, the spirit of love appears.

You never know what power exists in someone else’s silence.

The elevation and evolution of mankind’s resolve remain undaunted

because of the grace and stillness in a person's heart.

thank you Frances Wymbs
