Silence


Silence

Listen.
Do you hear it?
The low, soft nothing of silence?

Silence.
I wallow in it.
I wrap it around me -- a cloak of comfort.
I am alone.
I come into myself.
Silence.
My mind is set free.
I think, I wonder.
I feel the words flowing.

Silence.
Blessed silence.

  16. Silence is not so easy to come upon, like gold you almost have to pan for days to come up with a little of it. Loved your image and your words Barbara.
