gift of silence

i let stillness be

i love the stillness

silence speaks

it fills the room

with peace

and wholeness

it expands

it fills

it is power

wholly unopposed

full of happiness

well being

charity

gratitude

God

Life

i let silence

teach me

i am whole

only silence

can teach me this

i can only receive

be taught

listen

from silence

talking--i can't hear

speaking is not silence

speaking is only appropriate

and helpful

after silence/listening :-)))

and not a moment before

today

i would focus

on the open window

the open ear

i would listen

to all the music

the muse

of silence

i wonder what she would tell me

if i gave her the whole day.....
