Situated silence seemed strange to you
when with certainty you declared
your declaration of opinion.
I stood there deliberately delegating my thoughts,
dividing them between anger and laughter.

You expected a rise in me,
along with rant and rave;
perhaps even contemplating revenge.
Rather than granting your wish,
disappointment was the reward
of your cause resulting in the receiving
of merely nothing more
than my gentle natured side.
You all the while believing that
I had granted you victory.

Verily, I would ask of thee now
if when upon your arise this morn
to greet the daylight did the veraciousness
of the gifting left behind for your eyes to behold
wrap you in sudden astonishment?
I sit in thought visualizing mouth in gape,
bewildered look upon face of disbelief
as gaze turned upon contents of your prize.

Have you forgotten that I am rather well versed
on logic, reason, and current state of mind
of one who has imbibed too much in celebration
prior to feeling need to 'make statements.'
Twenty years of remembrances....of past days,
years...a lifetime.

A time and place for everything....

Smiles turned to frowns envisioned when
reading revisited words of how trust is given
and can only be removed by the receiver.

Softly again, my words have shaken
that held in minds eye view as the unshakable.
So solid these words of truth that once again
you stumble over held meaning,
still searching for self-understanding.

The light shines,
truth prevails....

Silence IS golden.

(rp)

seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love. Axel Ekenstierna

Wow !   When you DO let it out...You are like Xena, with words. LOL
This is amazing!   I am humbled by your talent.
I am also fearful.  I pray I never give cause for you to raise an eyebrow of disapproval.

Very well written.
Love this verse.
