Silence
falls -

        Often.

Listen as if the ground
accepting rain.

Full of this
        receiving.

Then whisper to me like a cloud.

These silent drops that leave
your lips.

you leave me silent, breath caught in a stilled moment -

Susan

If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . .

How we absorb what we receive from each other, is as important as the sending...isn't it Picasso.
Lovely write.

SHort word, but long on meaning.

Sometimes less is more.  This is such a case.

Bravo!
