In the silence

This is a repost...I think I like it better read out loud.

In the Silence/Shh…all is quiet(original title)

Current mood: satisfied


All is quiet....still

and, yet again, I am wide awake.

In the silence of the eve

my mind sings...soars....



Music plays and shadows dance

upon the walls of my beating heart



A little reminder

that I'm still breathing



With eyes closed I see him there-

an angelic aura around him

Hands clasped, head bowed

God hears his silent whispers.



"I am just a man...."

Is anyone listening?



I smile in answer,

arms outstretched for a warm embrace.



I hear you.



And, I am a woman with music

and words that flow swiftly

through her veins-

color and light in my vision

and I say...



"Hello, my friend. Would you care to dance?"
