Silence's Truth

I've so many things to say
and yet silence followed me

I'd dash this way and that
but he'd never be far behind me

So stopped cold in my tracks
head low, steeped in thought

I turned and stood taller
stepped forward with a holler

And said to my friend
"What do you want!?"

Silence stood quietly forlorn
kicking a stone and looking down

I walked over closer
putting one arm around

I pulled quietly with love
sucking that energy inside me

Silent solitude took place
and the quiet blessed presence

No reason to be, to share
relaxed in the sphere

I watched as the world
whizzed by silently

I could see clarity
her crystal fortelling all

Quiet mind memories true
to detail and Silence's truth
