May my silence become more accurate
Theodore Roethke
What do you hear in the silence?
The petals of a flower as it opens?
The voices from your past that call for you to return-
or those from your future that beckon you forward?
or do you simply hear the blessed silence
That has so much to say?
That is worth hearing
and that is poetiquejustis
"The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."
Exodus 14:14
