Silence, it comes stealing into your reaming moments
Upon steps leaving golden imprints into the arena of
Your heart’s torments.

Its heralds are speaking in chords of combined emptiness
Exemplifying the many victories to be therein found
By exhorting them in mutual muteness.

What can one glean from being then one with this knight
Of hushed banners, that not even the wind is permitted to
Snap into a single note with its might?

What is the purpose for such a one that with its lack of tones
Does soon overcome and defeat the raging echoing cries of memories
Bringing them with a deafening hush down to moan?

Patience is his consort, sitting like some silver star waiting ever
For her champion to once more triumph with nary a cry of victory
From her lips turned up in a smile most clever.

Till at last there stand no more to challenge her lord of no voice
So that comes he now to her where still she sits most still, most glorious
Awaiting the command of her lord’s choice.

Then, it is as if the very sky has cracked and all of the earth has
Screamed out in a voice that is so beyond that of even joined thunders
As he his lips part at last.

She rises to descend to take his hand in obedience to his uttered words;
Her clever smile is still upon her lips as her eyes dance at all others in their
Amazement for his words cut through air like sharpest swords.

Together Silence and Patience depart, victorious once more they
Played out their parts, taking with them the dust of painful memories
As they go, leaving behind only the words to stay.

“I am sorry, for I have caused thee a most deep and abiding pain,
Forgive me, my love and let all be as it was, so shall it once more
Be for us again.”   

Words, precious as the rarest of flowers when in bloom, as fragrant
As the new mown hay in summer’s rain, valuable more than gold
Lie as shining seeds planted by the softest of whispers, Silence’s words brilliant

And your heart blooms in gracious glory with every color of nature’s holy
Pallate as you ponder what you have dreamed and have been shown, that
Silence makes a Whisper powerful, and its words uttered  the mantra of love’s
Totality.
