words, silence and presence

in silence the word i speak

grows stronger

in the silence i turn

to the healing touch

of love,

the gentle quiet

caressing the cuts,

treating the trauma

the silence warms

the heart

like a candle’s flame

brightening

the room,

whispering awake

the speechless soul

here in the silence

i seek you

and meet you—

the Word of hope

growing stronger within

out of the silence

the Word emerges,

a presence fuller

than many words

hear the silence invite—

the Word dwells richly

without and within

i pray

these words

emerge

from the fullness

of the Word’s silent presence
