THE SILENCE IN THE DISTANCE

I hear the silence in the distance

It beckons to the deep in me, urging me to pay attention

To focus on the calmness of the waters as the sun sets.

It beckons to the deep in me, urging me to let go of the hurt and pain

To focus on the wins and joys that it gives.


I hear the silence in the distance

Quiet yet speaks volumes in the calmness of the waters

In the light of the setting sun…

A gradual fade into the distance far.


I hear the silence in the distance

For it holds many memories

Of light, love, hope and sacrifice.

For as the sky descends in the distance far, so is the loud silence in the distance far.
