Silence connotes
more than quietude
It is spirit lost
in multitudes.
Silence is reverent
A holy retreat -
Going within
To go abroad -
Yourself to meet.
Did you know
You reside on a foreign street,
Its address
Too Often pushed aside?
Silence is where we abide
In essence
There’s token Silence
in nature
And Silence
That takes us
By surprise
when the power fails.
No hum
Consistent in its presence
Brings a hush as deep as snow
Silent night, holy night
