And a song plays
Soft beneath the nights
Carried breeze -
Silence...come forth
As the very hush of God.

To this sirens call-so faintly heard
My heart stirs from deepest slumber.
To yearn as once
As I have loved before,
To distant arms...and lost embrace,
The night sings me full of such
Longing hope -

I listen...and dance within the night.

And nothing seems to matter-

Just the song...the night
And the holy silence
Underneath.

This was beautifully written. It's amazing how silence and sound weave themselves.. this is what flesh is composed of.

And I lie in silence, listening to your sweetest of songs... how beautiful your whispers, dancing like spirits in the recesses of my soul.  How magical the feeling they bring...

Thank you... you amaze me...

Love,
Moca
