SILENCE of the WORD
How does one make a gift of words
to the ONE who is the WORD?
How can silence be heard in a cacophony of words
when only in SILENCE can the WORD be heard?
How can a noisy world receive a breath of silence
When the ONE who made the world is SILENCE?
Blessed Mary said “Yes” to the WORD
carrying the SILENCE of ONE in her womb.
The hermits of old said “Yes” to the WORD
listening to the ONE of SILENCE in solitude.
The poets of today say “Yes” to the WORD
bringing the SILENCE of ONE to our hearts.
