One fall
I fell.
with a roar
that deafened even the
mightiest storm
my knees
knew only
to hold tight
to the dew-crisp ground
there
they kept me
safe
though they still
shook
and quavered
they held
through a winter
a spring
a summer
until there came
one
who knew to listen
to the silence
between my words
for the words
were mere
camouflage
it was the
silence
that told the tale.
now I am
rising
and I am sure
almost sure
surely positive
that I wont
fall
again.

yes Sandra    
there’s a lot said  
in silence  
stay grounded  
my friend…

I love the strength in this...

Sadly, not many can read "the silence" so thank you for your words!
