INNER  SHUSH!

Poem for Today - Monday - October 6, 2014

SILENCE

Sitting in silence,

Waiting for things to happen!

There's something in silence,

Waiting for things to happen,

That gathers drama.

Maybe a leaf falls,

Or a raindrop will deepen

The tint of a stone:

A honeybee stumbles

Among foxglove stalls.

A proud spirit humbles

Itself to this humour;

The life of the sod,

The root, the sky,

The quietly known

Presence of God.
