Our Silence
- John
Guzlowski (U.S.A.)
My
silence and your silence
speak a
language
we
learned long ago
in a
world where silence
moved
the waves
and
every sparrow
flew on
wings of silence
into
our eyes
And
every word
we
learned to speak
is part
of a prayer
connecting
us
to all
the words
spoken
by all people
everywhere
ever
This
silence and these words
invented
love
Taught
us to whisper
Hello
Taught
us
To open
our eyes
Taught
us
To
enter the woods
And
fields
And
learn the meaning
Of
everything
