Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I wrote this today. I felt it in my heart -- this desire for silence. I know you all feel it too. I hope the calming words help you, too. It soothed me to give them air. RAPTURE OF SILENCE by Ryman Wind blowing curtains, ivory silk. Moonlit ribbon dances through. White pillow, powdered kiss of night I breathe, slumber, dream. Rapture of silence -- Embrace me sweetly. The empty wind with no voice combs my hair with silent fingers and cools my burning feet. Rapture of silence -- Oh how I wait. Long days of yearning, tortured hours Mindless chatter, senseless noise Bereft of energy, impossible to avoid. White pillow, powdered kiss of night. And away I dream a soothing stillness. Ripples of water memories. Glades of shadowed green. Crossings of light between tree leaves. It is the sweet nectar of dreams in which I gloriously swim. Lovingly, blindingly, beautifully mine. Beautifully white and Silent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
