Silence, like death in the valley of Israel
awake, restore my strength.
renew, reveal
Silence, from the depths of a broken heart
broken in ignorance, innocence.
promises, hope
The gentle cadence of thy lips upon my own
swallows the lies of my fears.
empty, ignorance
Your voice like a light upon the high mountain
dawn breaking over the horizon.
wise, tears
Lightly I touch my lips in remembrance
of thy sweetness.
heaven, restored
Just brilliant .

ReplyDeleteThank you all so much for reading and commenting!
ReplyDeleteLove the form of this one, Annie. It is as though walking out of a valley. Surmounting. Winning.
ReplyDelete"Heaven restored" - ah! Brilliant! Since when did you start writing short pieces? I reckon you are doing well with this style! Keep writing!!!
ReplyDeleteErin, I like the analogy, it fits and feels good to hear.
ReplyDeleteAjey, I started out writing short pieces, it is returning to them when I write them. Poetry was and is the challenge, but I have found that I enjoy it. I like your style as well!! ;D
