MEMORABLE SILENCE FOR TWO

A time of silence
resounding with unspoken peace,
bridging to fresh comprehension and
stilling the pangs of anxiety:

          Thoughts bringing closure,
          thoughts opening out, and
          freedom to be floating:

          stillness; quietness; harmony;
          wrapped in Your Presence
          Time standing still.

                     No door bell please,
                     no comment
                     no shattering this:

          nebulous questions are forming
          pointing to new horizons
          always imbued with harmony:

Prelude to all adventure,
all memories, all griefs and joys to come:
knowing the Son of Man is with us
blessing our kissing spirits.

          Silence for Two
          in their eighth decade
          side by side
          man and wife
          greatgrand parents.

And how did this all come about?

          unexpectedly;
          unforeseen;
          blessedly:

kindling love and thankfulness
to our merciful Creator.
