Silence

Nothing nurturing to say…

            Silence.

Tactless truths educe dismay…

            Silence.

Cherished secrets stored away

            In silence.

Soothing sleep at end of day…

            Silence.

 

Poets rest a measured phrase

            In silence.

On bended knee we humbly pray

            In silence.

Soldiers listen and obey

Wordlessly, without delay.

And daylight lifts the gloom of gray

            In silence.

 

And when our race is finally o’er

We scale the stairs to Heaven’s door

            In silence.
