This silence

"Silence is the only common language." - James Baldwin

This silence
started December 26th, 2020

Our days are filled with words
words around us and on us
words that embrace and pierce
words comprehensible and strangely made.

Among all this chaotic cacophony
sits each of us with our own words
spoken and unspoken
understood and not understood.

Now it is the frayed evening
and the one thing I can offer
is to listen to your words,
to bless them in my own way
like the abbot at compline
in the monastery dark and deep.

Then we both will part
into the silence of the night
the silence that surrounds us in the womb
and greets us when we cross over at our ending

this silence which is
our only common language.

 Sometimes I look back at poems, and know just where they came from. Other times I look with wonder and have no idea. There is a monastery near here that is very special. Compline is my favorite time to be there.

 That was so beautiful
The Light is shinning and she is lonely and waiting in the darkness.

A lighthouse is a beautiful thing. I have not seen many in my life, but they would be by water, which also calms me. Thank you for reading me and responding.

 words are to be herd
words are to be read
words can help
words can hurt
words come from the heart
words can be rattled of with out though
words short or long last forever
words can describe many
places, people and things
I did enjoy the words you write
weather our or someone esle

 Beautiful.
I have a codition, I'll have a go and put it to poetry

Tinitus

I have developed Tinnitus, so can never get no sound.
A constant high pitch whistle, higher that the piano sound.
I used to have it years ago after surrounded by loud noise.
But only lasted a few hours then no sound was found..
Its annoying when laying, trying for the sleep escape.
But its always there whistling stopping me to partake.
Go Away tinnitus. Go away and stay.
Don't bother me again, from now until the end of my days.

I also have tinnitus! No idea why it started for me. It doesn't bother me as much now as at first. Mine is like cicadas. Luckily I like cicadas lol.
