Hush.
Here in the silence
that lingers between each star.
Close your eyes,
let the sweet velvet black
hold you.
And you will know
(you will know)
that this is all you need.
The twinkling silence that is you.
This is all you need.
I could have stared at the sky for hours.
It was glowing.
Grey and orange; still against the crashing sea.
But it wasn’t the vision of the sunset that moved me.
It was the feel of it
within me.
So calm, I became the sky.
Peaceful.
Still.
And quietly waiting
for nothing at all.
The time for soft and quiet has come.
Rest.
Lay down the bones of sorrows past.
Yesterday is a hush,
no longer ringing her angry bell.
She knows it true.
The time for soft
and quiet
has come.
Here I sit
in this patch of sun,
beneath this naked tree,
only me.
I ask my heart to hush
so that I might hear the birds.
But just as soon as my heart goes quiet…
so do the birds.
And I am alone.
In the silence.
Waiting for life to sing for me
once again.
Wade me in the waters of sensuality,
sweet ocean of mine.
Show me the girl that I am.
Call to me the woman that rises
within.
I’m terribly sorry, but I can’t stay.
I have plans to sit on the grass
and breathe.
The sun is waiting.
