Sudden silence in the heart as
if frost
listened for dawn, mist tendrils hestitant
reach: tuck themselves back
beneath
the paws of night.
It's the thought of someone listening. One
deliberately hears.
Meet the cross, two
listen beyond mere voices:
who speaks?
eternal rest
the silent syllable
within a word
beyond the murmur of the mere
kindly voices,
a song
within the flesh
beyond the soul.
