There is beat to jungle drums
maddening of rock's despair--
motion of my conundrum--
pendulum in slice--beware...

There is moment of undone--

there is presence everywhere.


A jungle is a forest kept--
it's privacy of weep of mind;
fertilized by those long dead--
watered tears of "left behind."

there are moments--I cry "dread."

They leave shadow play of mind.

Silence is a heart's regret.
Silence sings of what may yet--
silence is the note of pause
before the note--silence--applause


One still note's parentheses--
poignant by silence of me.

We've got to stop meeting like this! What will your fiance say!!!

Oh but I can't help myself.....

                "Silence is a heart's regret.
                 Silence sings of what may yet--
                 silence is the note of pause
                 before the note--silence--applause


                 One still note's parentheses--
                 poignant by silence of me."

My what clever little philosophies you come up with in the wee hours of the morning!
Silence would be my heart's regret.
Nice touch southern belle!

"silence is the note of pause
before the note--silence--applause"

that's such a cool beat.
it pays to get up early (or stay up this late in my case) and catch the late night creativity.

it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown

VERY excellent writing, Karen...

Karen,
you've got the music in you and your silence is...golden.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Silence is a heart's regret.

silence is the note of pause
before the note--silence--applause

...and the metronome waves.  Shall I respond?  Or be silent.


Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely and complete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me

Silence, is like negative space in art, it speaks as loud as the color and line.  I enjoyed this you song.

BRAVO!!! Oh Karen, this is wonderful, sweet friend, silence is indeed still yet is poignat and it is almost like a river that has to be instigated, telling us of what will follow next that we have to prepare for! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, I love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing!



May love and loght always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
