Quietness
I am a lover of quietness,
Unechoed songs within a silent heart,
A silver pond, a statued loveliness,
Where words can take no part.
I love the quiet ways of memory,
The quiet looks to give you loving praise,
The quiet smell secrets of misery
Through quiet nights and days.
The quiet feels mountain of the earth,
The quiet taste like dewy leaf,
My quiet questioning of God above,
My quiet fearless grief.
