Love’s Silence
17 May 2006

Was silence love
or love silent
As to green grass
and skies of blue

Those days of grey
in sombre cloud to shade
Her happiness, her heartfelt desire
was this silence, or the rhythm from within

Those Pensacola days, under a Florida sky
to know children were passion
Nursed at birth, rested upon breast
Small hands suckling as to a prepared calf

Her pride, her joy, yet silent in amour
the foundation nevertheless laid upon soul
Her offspring, her apples, fruit of loins
never silent, the quietness her heart at rest


“Unless the LORD had been my help,
my soul had almost dwelt in silence.”
Psalms 94: 17 KJV
