Silence
“Sounds of Silence” (Simon and Garfunkel)

Jehangir dropped down into the tunnel, his bare feet hitting the warm soil with a thud. He moved quickly through the darkness, around corners and bends, through narrow openings and tight passageways. . . .

Silence between us when you are away
gets pregnant with diffuse emotions,
silence with you warming my existence
cements the chinks in our togetherness
silence when abandoned metamorphoses
like a timeless . . .

Someday there will be no sounds of laughter,
no more music, to which I dance,
no plaintive meows, no playful barks,
no babbling brook or crash of waves.
Wind through the leaves forever quiet. . . .

Do I love them?
Do they love me?
And then
In the twinkling of an eye
They are gone
And the questions are moot

I take a moment
To stop and closely listen
To hear the silence.

SONG OF SILENCE
Silence is the best song
Forever, I have heard.
The screaming buses on the roads
Weeping all day,
The uncompromising siren
Of the wayside . . .

silence can beckon like a tomb
cold and gray, shades of lonely;
silence can call to us on a whispering breeze,
warm and blue, shades of calm;
silence can be friend or foe,
depending . . .

You still stand at the window
straining your ears with unfocused eyes
humming a tune that always made me smile.
The classic I gifted
indolently lets the boorish wind
fondle its innermost niches. . . .

The old saying "you don't miss the water until the well has gone dry" rings so true for me today. I am so excited to have my "voice" restored on Gather. I have been away for a while . . .

Slim fingers of silence languishingly probed
The muse to awareness again
Eager for guidance it rose to the touch
Into clarity where answers swirl
The pandora box of curiosity was brimming . . .

Musings
Walking alone in the pine woods
The air seems blue.
The sun liberating the aroma
Of Christmas past.

The sun is setting in the west
A gentle breeze cools the air
Soon Thanksgiving
Soon Winter
But today it is warm and lovely
And good to be alive

Dream Keepers write obscure poems
Read by few and understood by fewer.
Dream Speakers bear the greater burden
They feel the Dream . . .

Monks were stable and fixed . . .

I could have sought by wit or wile
your bright dreams to dim. And yet
If I swayed you with a smile
My reward would be regret.

of the tears, unbidden, welling;
