just before dawn the river Silence beckons, I dive in listening to ancient psalms sing their poetry tapping deeper touching the pain swimming through to the still, silent pool reaching for a whisper a single metaphor, murmured underwater an echo…. maybe joy gasping, and coming up for air then seeing the sun rise hearing the sky shout, I breathe, find a voice, and sing. ©WabiSabi 2013

Beginning the second week of the April poem a day challenge, I have begun to wonder why I am doing this. For the wonderful warmth of the very words you speak. Thank you for the lift.

I really like the idea of Silence being able to call out to someone. The duplicity is fantastic.
