Listen to the Silence
You are the color of the wind that sails beyond
your every breath – listen to the silence.
You are the solo in the stillness of a tree weeping in low frets.
There is no reader whose eyes you have not met, no speech you’ve never said.
Each light or dreaded deed is also you, who crosses any sea,
or fails to turn a cheek.
Did you surrender nothing and still remain alone? It was not random fortune.
You are the color of the wind that sails beyond
your every breath - a timeless life through which God’s work unfolds.
Beyond definition – as free from confinement – as perfumed earth –
you are the silk and the spice that fills the world.
