When Silence Speaks |

When Silence Speaks When words have failed their tended cause And gestures will grow weak -- We stand across in a distant pause -- And let the silence speak. The Sun peaks thru with a worried face And rests upon the bars -- “Why have you” - He asks with grace - “Not called upon the stars?” “’Tis not for stars to guide our Fate” -- Will thunder my reply -- “Nor Sun in turn proclaim debate, What heart itself deny.” And Sun, as Reason, tilts His head, Then winks into my heart. The small crack closes, where it bled And a rift had drawn apart. And I look at Her dressed in a gown Of boundless love as skies. There on Her head -- a starry crown, And Sunlight in Her eyes. Should naught but silence follow pride, No words come from above -- Then kindly let the Reason ride The chariot of Love. CG |

Nicely done CG, a touch of rhyme and meter upon the page. Nice write, like the feel of this. |
