Bless the Silence

Bless the silence
like a negligee
that shows the outline
of what lies beneath
and beckons
when there is no sound
when there are
no other distractions
just the silence

Bless the silence
it speaks of what has changed
and what has yet to change
it speaks of patience
and compassion
it speaks of longing
and the desire to understand
it speaks and speaks and speaks
until it is silent
until there is no more to say
just the hum
of the Infinite
in my ear

Ahhhh, bless the silence.


Blessings.
