Darrell Wright Poems
I came upon a swan and asked to hear from her a song.
She said, "I sing in silence, and in silence you will hear
A song far greater, if you will but listen to His voice,

I'm drawn to men who make me laugh
So I forget my pain,
So I forget my hollowed heart,
So I don't go insane.

And shadow closely cleaves to radiant light;

to pain, and we're unable

The Best Poem Of Darrell Wright
The Song Of The Silent Swan
(In Memory Of Rachel Corrie)
I came upon a swan and asked to hear from her a song.
She said, "I sing in silence, and in silence you will hear
A song far greater, if you will but listen to His voice,
Whom you with earthly eyes can't see, because He is so near.
"But I am not permitted yet to sing, or I would lie:
For God made me to listen in the silence my life long,
Composing every day for Him the notes of one sweet song,
Which I will sing most beautifully the day I am to die."
