It’s been silent all these years Where the cupboards use to wake every Sunday They now sit in silence Waiting for my hand to touch their chapped wooden hearts It’s still a part of me For I rose through what I could see the heart shaped face under a light, grey sea A silence that bears a liking to the bridges That sit to the far east of where I use to reserve my thoughts Like the tiniest cracks of the walls in my home It’s been too long all these years All the pent up fears The silence never seemed so near It never seemed quite right The way a man can lose his thoughts Just for a second, those splitting years But this is the way we are To fight for the long year To have the silence by our side All these years.

The dynamics of our lives are intriguing and something that seems to change while remaining the same. Nice to ponder to your thoughts~ |

Very nicely done... and I see you have conjured, for when I read "silence" in that second-to-last line it comes through as "message"... |

"A silence that bears a liking to the bridges That sit to the far east of where I use to reserve my thoughts Like the tiniest cracks of the walls in my home" Very intriguing. This verse especially. JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |
