Turbulent Silence

She stands hidden in the shadows so no one will see.
She is a humble girl, shy, and described as meek as a lamb.
No words does she share, she thinks no one would comprehend.
Her silent supplication to the powers that be..........
Please bless me with understanding and humble humility.
Give me strength when I am weak.
Give me courage when the more boisterous soul dances about me.
Poking, laughing, saying......
You funny little girl no one will hear.
Go ahead share your pearls of wisdom.
Speak!
The raucous one howls in superior tones.
As she sits and gazes at the soulful moon, a thought races across her active mind,
she takes a pen in hand.
Pent up thoughts begin to flow.
Covering her canvas with pictures
of
joy, sadness, and boiling over with fiery attitude.
Gently she speaks to the boisterous one.
Not knowing this writer of words, he begins to comb through her thoughts.
Questions and stabbing thoughts
begin to warm him in ways he never thought possible.
He hears her tears, as they crash around his unprotected heart.
He smiles at her silly jokes.
He is filled with the essence of her.
He feels excitement when she caresses his inner being.
At times her words flow over him like scalding vapors of heated acid.
Then....
With the flick of her pen .....
She may tenderly wash over him with silky warmth and drown him in the
sweet ambrosia of flamboyant words.
The turbulent silence still rages within.
Her release ..........writing of tall tales and fairy tales-
Love songs and extravagant shows of word play.
A storyteller .........A writer of words.........A poet..........And a lover .....
From the one who is filled
with
Turbulent Silence.

Bon-Bon
